Cuts

I hear your words
Hurting down to the bone
I feel my friend
Hurting only the skin
"I don't care"
Hurts my feelings
"I care"
Causes rivers of red
If you cared
Rivers would cease to exist
If it cared
Rivers would run deep
"I love you"
The words I desire to hear
"Don't you feel me"
Words I never wish to hear again
