Continue To Care

Akkiko

You tossed me away,

You threw me down.

You broke my pride.

You wounded my heart.

I lay shattered now.

I call out to you.

"Still I love you!

Still I care!"

You don''t answer.

I have looked each day,

Looked for a sign to let me know,

To let me know you care.

There is nothing.

Is that your laugh I hear,

That whispering wind?

Are you laughing at my sorrow?

I thought time would heal it.

Time has made the wound open more.

Time has locked me in a cage,

It threw the key away.

I still care,

I still long to hear your voice.

I still long to wipe away your tears.

I still long to lend you an ear.

Do you miss me?

Do you think of me?

Do you care?

"No," you say.
