Of course
you say
you care

Of course
I believe you

But only when I'm there
do you care?
It doesn't matter though
because I'm happy when you're there
But when I go?

Will I stay in your mind?
Oh! But I'm blind!
Will I stay in your heart?
That's what a part
of me wishes. But no.

When I go
I cry for the love you never felt.
I cry for the love you pretended to feel.
'Cause none of it was real.

My mind shatters every time I leave
but you fix it every time you come
And you do care
truly! You say

But what about when I'm not there?
Do you care?
Does it matter though?
And I'm happy when you're there
But when I go?
I don't know.

My first poem on wattpad. My friend said it read like a song, so I might try and do that. Let me know what you think 😀
