Prays Lifted Up In Vain

While he prayed for me to come back to him, I prayed to be with another. Every night I fell asleep with a prayer on my lips for his safety, And that he might care for me half as much as I care for him. Both out prayers were lifted up in vain. Never would I return to the one who loves me, And never would the other care for me. I tortured myself with hope and trust, Knowing the trust. He didn’t remember things exchanged between us, While I cherished every word. He blamed it on his poor memory But I knew it was because he didn’t care. I would stay up hours just for a few minutes conversation, And he would be too tired to call. He’d claim he tried calling for hours, But the truth was he just forgot. I will never go back to the one who loves me Just as the one I care for will never care for me Prays lifted up in vain.
