Why Do You Care

Why do you care so much

I am not even yours

You barely know me

Yet you care

 

You hear my story

You hear my frustration

You see my pain

And my tears

Why do you care

 

You look in my eyes

You see the hurt

Buried deep within

The sadness in my eyes

You hear it

You sense it

Why do you care

 

You care for me

You treat me as a person

Why

Why do I matter to you

Why do you care

 

I am no one

A girl without a name

I am damaged

I am broken

I am battered

Even bruised

Why do you care for me

 

You look at me

With those eyes

And you melt my heart

I see you care

I see I am a person

I see I am worth it

 

Thank you for caring

Thank you for being you

Thank you for not stopping

Pushing me

Loving me

Caring for me
