#i cared

But I tried my very hardest

I loved you times a million

But you didn’t seem to care

I lost you as a friend

I think it’s for the best

Because you didn’t understand me

And saw me as less

Worried over every little thing,

All because I loved you,

And wanted you to feel loved.

I cared so much,

I did everything I could

To take the stress away

That slumped your strong shoulders.

I cared so much,

I gave you limitless chances,

And accepted all of your apologies

When you never took me seriously.

I cared so much

I worked myself to the bone

While I begged for you to help me

And got no answer in return.

I cared so much,

I thought things could be different,

If I compromised, made concessions,

But you never tried meeting halfway.

I cared so much,

I burned myself out

Trying to light up your world

When you insisted on darkness.

I cared so much,

That I exhausted my love for you,

Trying to show you the only way I could.

Now I can’t even bring myself to care at all.
