Do You Actually Care?

Yes

No

Maybe

You say you love me

But do you

Even though I say I love you

Do you love me

Like I love you

Or am I an annoyence

Something for you to get rid of

But you would never say this

Because you are the cat

and I am the mouse you play with

You beguile my senses

with your playful eyes

And chime like voice

And then I ask myself something

Do I care about YOU?

And I know the answer

It is as simple as breathing

And maybe even more natural than that

I do

And always would

Even if I seem to keep you

At arms lengths

But I do

This is 'cause I care

Not because I don't

I'm afraid Of being seen

And being hurt

By not just you

But the whole world
