Doesn'T Matter To You Anymore Poem by Shilesha Johnson

I talk yet you don’t listen
And I’m not on the same mission
That I was once on when I felt that we could last long
Because now I don’t know
And I’m not letting go
I’m just sort of giving up hope
I feel like were going down a slope
When we use to be climbing up mountain tops
Cause we were determined to never stop
At least I wasn’t
And things that matter to me
To you just doesn’t
And I don’t want to be a burden
But I also would like to stop hurt-in
And wondering what it is that you want
And wondering what is exactly in your heart
I care about you even a million miles apart
And I would hate to see us travel down hill
Cause I feel like our love is so powerful
It could dangerously kill
Anything within its reach
I just never thought that
That included me
Until you could no longer see
And until you could no longer be
The person I thought you were
And until I was no longer the girl you preferred
At one point it seemed that I mattered most
You never had to tell me
Because I felt it when you would hold me close
I use to feel like I truly mattered
And then you changed
And my dreams along with a portion of my heart shattered
Right in my face
I picked it up myself this time
Trying to put it back in its proper place
But it seems that every once in a while you create more pieces
And loving you is not a secrete
So I know that YOU know
And if that is so
Then why does it seem to me that it wouldn’t matter to you
…if you let us go
