Care to Live
Do you love me
Do I even care
Care enough to find out
Care because I should
Should I ask you
Should you respond
Respond to my question
Respond with the truth
Truth is I do
Truth is I don’t
Don’t break my heart
Don’t let me break yours
Yours faithfully
Yours truly
Truly human
Truly Madly Deeply
Deeply devoted to you
Deeply disturbing
Disturbing behavior
Disturbing my peace of mind
Mind altering drugs
Mind numbing
Numbing all the pain
Numbing my thoughts inside
Inside I’m screaming
Inside you is nothing
Nothing I can understand
Nothing that I want to
To all your lies
To all your sins
Sins against my heart
Sins I can’t forgive
Forgive me for the craziness
Forgive me just this once
Once you do I can relax
Once you can finally decide
Decide what you want
Decide what comes next
Next in this life
Next just beyond
Beyond what you are
Beyond what we will be
Be together forever
Be apart for as long
Long as you need me
Long as I live
Live to know the real you
Live to show you me
Me…
You…
