You look at me like I give a damn,

I'm so sorry to disappoint,
I think you forget who I am,
Quite frankly I don't see the point.
 
Why can't you see I really don't care,
If you stay here or if you go,
I promise your heart I'm going to tear,
Not one bit of remorse will I show.
 
I think you're just a waste of time,
I wouldn't give you the time of day,
I don't want you in this life of mine,
I warn you, get out of my way.
 
You'll get up and I will tear you down,
Just stay right where you are,
I'll taunt you when no-one else is around,
I'm always watching you from afar.
 
I will laugh if you even try,
You're a really pathetic case,
Yeah go on..that's right...just  cry,
Look at you, all over the place!
 
Yeah whatever, I don't care what you say
Cause all I can hear is noise,
I think it's time you walked away,
While you still have a choice!!
 
What do you mean that you won't go,
What do you mean you care,
Why are you telling me that you know,
And you will always be there??
 
I cannot cope, I'm fighting tears,
I can't cope with this at all,
I've never had someone in all these years,
Care enough to break down my wall.
 
It's hard to see why you'd never leave,
No-one has cared in the past,
The tears they fall, I can barely breathe,
Someone finally loves me at last.

it's complex the way two voices weave through this poem. well done.

This is very moving, especially at the end. I take it as one voice 'putting words' into the other, not daring hope the other person is willing to take the narrator on board 'warts and all' and see the friendship through? Rhiannon
