It's Better Not Caring

Tears run a shady color gray.
My heart broken, yet
still beating just the same.
The bitter-sweet taste of
revenge lingers like a
soft summer breeze. And I
burn under the rays of
the golden sun. Lying to
you, claiming it felt
better not to care (just
like you said). But I was
lying because I never fully
felt that. And I've often thought
allowing yourself to feel love
will surly end in pain. Yet it
is far worse not to feel at all,
not to care, not to kiss someone
thinking you could build to love,
than to fear feeling, caring,
and loving. I'm walking in a dark
alley, hiding my face in the
shadows, I'm so ashamed for the
way I'm acting. Fully enjoying
my life though drunken eyes. Seeing
that love will never exist, so
why care about giving yourself to
someone, and taking them as well.
Not realizing I'm building a reputation
I've spent my whole life running from.
Letting them label me, and use me for
there own pleasure, as long as they
hold me until I'm sleeping. As long
as they make me feel accompanied for
a short moment, I'll let them use me.
The eyes that I'm seeing the world with
are no longer innocent. No longer hopeful.
I put the past behind me not missing you
at all, and the future just a cloudy haze
that I sometimes wish I won't live to see.
You see I feel now what's it's truly like
not to care, and I'm having more fun being
faded upon every night, finding someone new
to whore myself out to. I can now honestly say
it is so much better not caring at all.
