It’s The Little Things That Matter

It’s The Little Things That Matter

It’s the little things that matter

so tiny you can’t see

through your selfish murky feelings

you always throw at me

“I’m just teasing” you say callously

after you’ve let your feelings known

Hiding behind a false bravado

of a smile carved from stone

Always waiting for the kill

as you search my caring face

with a hint of satisfaction

I can almost taste

So I have learned just to smile

and tell myself it’s cool

That you treat me so indifferently

I’m just your sidekick fool

Perhaps someday you’ll miss me

but again probably not

That would require you to think

and give me a caring thought
