You simply were not there...

When love just has no longer a space in your heart to hold.

 

 

 

Don't tell me you care

For when I call you are not there.

 

Don't say you understand

For when I speak to you, no helping hand.

 

Don't make believe with words

For when we talk instead there is nothing brought forth.

 

Don't behave as a man 

For when it is time to act like one, you only ran.

 

Don't tell your woes

For not a thought on mine, for ears grown cold.

 

So don't act surprised

When I walk away with not a stare

 

For no matter how hard you said you tried...

You simply were never there...

 

 

 

So Darlin, please don't insult me..

 

 

 

By saying you cared...

I can really relate to this write,
Very well espressed and written,
Like that photo as well

This is a good poem. I especially liked how the first five stanza's lines started with "Don't" , followed be "For". The ending is really good, but sad. well done.
