Poem # 49 Oh! how I wish, you still would have cared! (Aug 31, 2019 - Sept 02, 2019)

 

(First paragraph Written at the impromptu song writing station at the Country Music Hall of Fame and displayed on their board)

You say you don't care, to write this song, 

But to keep me happy, you are tagging along;  

True pleasures in life, are meant to be shared, 

Oh! how I  wish, you still would have cared!

You say you don't care, to tour the world with me,
But to keep me from complaining, you plan sights to see;
Adventures in life, are meant to be braved as a pair,
Oh! how I wish, you still would have cared!

You say you don't care, to plan for our future,
Now our lives move along, like an ill-timed looper;
True love for e
ach other, is meant to grow undeclared,
Oh! how I wish, you still would have cared!

You say you don't care, whatever I decide,
After 11 years with you, that's the worst deride;
Your love for me crumbled, when against us the world dared,
Oh! how I wish, you still would have cared!
