They Never Cared Poem by Desiree Whitamore

im sitting down across from you
and when you don't think i see
you wipe away that lonely tear
and turn away from me.

i guess i never meant to hurt you
i guess im sorry for that pain
i guess you really shouldve told me
that you and i had to change

your hands are grasping mine
and your head falls to the table
i don't know what else to say
so i sit until you're able.

and when i try to speak to you
you close your bloodshot eyes
and i really see the stress i caused
through your made up mind

and as my guards let down
with the tears we never shared
i notice your distant look
and that you never cared
