I CARE

I just need you to know I care.

I can't say it, but in my heart I hope there's a thought of me in yours

because in mine, you are my heartbeat.

Every breath I take carries a thought of you,

and I can't rid myself of it because as it disappears with the wind,

It always gets stuck in my hair.

I wish you knew that.

I wish you knew I walk in your shoes everyday and my arms are in your shirtsleeves even though their threadbare and torn.

But I know you don't because you never let anyone into your life.

You would never believe someone willingly stepped foot in your closet and choose to wear your skeletons.

But I don't need you to believe . I need you to know I care,

without me telling you because as the world turned it's face on you,

it shouted those very words and you've come to hate it.

Reject it.

Fight it.

As if saying I care means I don't because you can't believe someone does and that means I lie.

So I don't. I keep those words hidden in my heart and hope they echo as I breath and somewhere in your subconscious you hear it —

Faintly,

i care... i care... i care...i care...
