If I Didn't Care

If I Didn’t Care

By: Monica Renata

If I didn’t care about you

If I didn’t care at all

I would no longer be there for you

I wouldn’t try to catch you when you fall

If I didn’t care about you

If there was no feeling left in me

I wouldn’t extend my kindness

Even though you hurt me terribly

In pain there is some pleasure

In light there is always dark

And so may I rise one day

And then another day I may fall

To dwell in the past

And let the future not arise

Would be a terrible terrible waste

Of my own heart and mind

If I didn’t care about you

There would be so many things I would not do

But instead I sit there quietly

While I watch you abuse

Abuse my kindness

Abuse my heart

You trampled over me

I cared about you so much

That I was blind and could not see

If I didn’t care about you

If I didn’t care at all

I would harbor so much hate in my heart

I would wish that you never rise but fall

But instead I keep a home for you

In a part of my heart so deep

And despite all the pain you put me through

My care for you never ceased

“Life is too short to let hate consume your heart…Everyone should be forgiven….Forgiveness helps you heal in the long run.” –Monica Renata
