Do You Care?

Do you care?
Every breath you take
I hear every word you never said.
You carried on
Like every part of my life
With you
Never mattered.
Do you care?
The glances.
I don't know what you're feeling,
But you're making me feel lost.
I have so much to say to you —
So many emotions —
But
Do you care?
You left me broken
Confused
I don't know where to go
What to do.
I miss you.
You left so many unmended
Horrible things
And I wonder:
Do you care?
My lips are chapped,
My eyes hurt so much.
I'm so tired.
The blood I've seen since —
The alcohol burning —
I'm hurting.
I'm hurting the same way the stars
Hurt after they die,
So they take everything they can find.
Do you care?
Cherry blossoms and tears fill my mind;
Nostalgic pain.
Salty sweet
Dry dry sadness.
A chest of blank.
White.
Nothingness.
Do you care?
