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.
