I wish you knew that my actions are only out of kindness

That I can’t help but ask if you if you are okay when I see that look on your face

The look that makes me wonder who hurt you

And the one that makes me want to comfort you through your pain

I wish you knew that when you smile, I feel happy for a moment

That your genuine glee has me wishing that I could feel that too

The smile that I wish we could share

And maybe one day, we could share a laugh too

I wish that you weren’t lying to me when you said you weren’t mad at me

That you didn’t hate the fact that I apologize for breathing

The way I try and help you

And how you hate that I care

I wish that I was better

That I didn’t keep f***ing things up

The fact that I keep messing up is so incredibly frustrating

And that I was more likable

I wish you knew that I now get it

That you would rather me keep my distance

The more distance the better

And what I think you already know is this

You’ve broken me

I have shattered into millions of pieces

And I don’t think you’ll ever bother to even try to put me back together

So I wish I could say I was done with you

But I know that would be a lie

Because not caring isn’t in my nature

And although you don’t want me to

I will always care about you
