As if you care!


As if you care!

You watch me in pain several times

You watch me cry each time I’m sad

You look me in the eyes and tell me the worse things I never imagined to hear from you

As if you want me!

We seat together as your mind go wild about her

You hold my hands thinking it’s her

You look me deep in the eyes looking for her

You wish you found her in me

As if you give life!

You kill me with your words each passing day

You hang my hope upon the tree

You leave it on the desert where nothing grows

You pierce my heart with the sharp knife of jealousy

The other you always see in me

As if it’s not enough!

You tell me am exaggerating – forging and leaving in illusion

You have been my illusion

And my illusion ends today!

You were leaving in illusion

Seeing her in me

That is illusion

As you care I care same about You
