Your Change
We talked a little
I defended you
You said you appreciated it
We talked some more
You defended me
I told you my inner, bleeding heart
Of which not many have seen
A dark and gloomy place
Not seen among my usual light
I told you of my suffering, joy, and pain
You listened and comforted me
And made me smile
But now no longer
Now I try to tell you of your faults
Correct your actions
Refine your character
Into what it can be
For the greater good
You now care for me no longer
I read too much in your actions
I thought you really cared
You now tell everyone my faults
My feelings
My weaknesses
What I had said in confidence
What had troubled me so much to tell
Because it made my pain alive and real
You did not care
Yet I believed you did
Now you leave me for some others
Who will one day betray you
One day to be hurt by them
Backstabbing people
Selfish
Only caring for themselves
What you do not have to deserve
Now I silently weep as I think of you
For although you no longer care for me
No matter what you do
I still care for you
