You know that healing rib you had?
Go ahead and crack it in another football game.
I don’t care
You know that shin splint you had?
Go ahead and fracture it in another soccer tourney.
I don’t care
You know that broken nose you had?
Go ahead and break it in another fist fight.
I don’t care
You know this cracked, fractured and broken heart I have?
Go ahead and rip off the bandage.
You’ve made it quite obvious that you don’t care
You know these tears I’ve shed, past and present?
They’re because I cared so much.
I’m done caring.
Not that you care
