Your care is overwhelming


You cut into my skin

Whether you know it or not

You don't think it a sin

I'm just an afterthought

 

My troubles you laugh at

And you say they don't exist

Somehow it's just that

That's what makes me wince

 

Even if I was to die

Would you even see

Even if I killed myself

Would you waste a care on me
