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.
