Little Red Notebook

It Hurts to Care

You think closing your eyes

will save you from hurt.

Who knows?

You think it would

make the screams

quiet down.

You think every night,

its going to be peaceful

Only to sit up

panting

in the middle of the night

After a visit of your infamous guest.

Nightmares.

You think that

by not caring

It has nothing to do with you.

But you're mad

Because you care

You care so much

that you're scared

you're heart would burst of love.

You care so much

that you try to stop them

from fighting.

But they wouldn't

they're too selfish

Even just one night

of uninterrupted sleep.

But they still wouldn't.

So you sit at the corner

rocking yourself to sleep

waking up with a tear-streaked face.

It has become a routine

Party, cry, sleep,

wake up with mascara all over.

But they still wouldn't care.

Because you're tired of being mad.

Because its drained you

to your very core.

Because you mean nothing

to them anymore.
