What if?
What if we don’t agree?
What if you disrespect me?
What if you don’t care?

What if you don’t listen to me?
What if my opinions don’t matter to you?
What if I’m sick of it?
What if you don’t care?

What if I’m not backing down?
What if I’m not ready?
What if we both made mistakes?
What if you don’t care?

What if I want out?
What if you apologize but don’t really mean it?
What if I’m just plain confused?
What if you don’t care?

Why don’t we stop this?
Why don’t we work it out?
Why don’t we just move on?
WHY DON’T YOU CARE??!!

I really love this, especially because I can relate to the ever wondering feel of the poem. You have great use of repetion and alitteration, keep writing.!
