Why Care

Why Care Tears of joy Replaced with pain Chanced happiness destroyed again Just not good enough To be more than a friend. This is her life Beginning to end. Wanted as a lover But never more To chance more than that Closed the door Tears in the darkness Tap the cold floor Loneliness her partner Forevermore. Fought so hard, for so long I come to you again, broken and forlorn. Never did I weaken, my fight always strong. But now I crawl to you, too tired to carry on. Like a junked old car Up on bricks, She's been broken More than she's been fixed By her side when the weather was fair. Now that she's down, nobody's there. And that is life When you decide to care.
