Fake Concern


Fake concern

listened, but not heard

I wonder times if what I say

matters to anyone

anyway

Fake concern

gossip talk

no one cares about your thoughts

simply tell the juicy details

the oozing little drops

secrets boiling in the plot

he said she said

rumors bubble

causing nothing but endless trouble

Fake concern

played me a fool

to think that anyone cares about

the things

I do
