You Don't Care
I am sitting here on my bed
thinking of all the times
we have shared. I am
sitting here on my bed
thinking of those romantic
picnics in the park. I am
sitting here on my bed thinking
of your love filling my heart.
You don't care.
You don't care.
You'll stay there.
You'll stay there.
You don't love my,
you love her.
I'm sitting here on your bed
Thinking of what I've done.
I'm sitting here on your bed
thinking you're the only one.
I'm sitting here on your bed
with regret filling my head.
I can't believe what I've done.
I can't believe I used your gun.
You're crying.
You're crying.
You hate me.
You hate me.
You didn't love me
you loved her.
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry!
I hurt you!
I hurt you!
You loved her,
and I killed her.
-Athena (Age 15)
