If I really mattered
I wouldn’t get treated like this
I wouldn’t take so much [edited by Moderator]
If I didn’t care
But you make me wish like I didn’t
Because it’s all gone one way
I do the caring
You throw it in my face

Just in case I matter
Well I’ll be staying round here
For a long time yet
And if you ever need me
You know I’m right there
Just remember that I get lonely
Because you don’t even think about me

Maybe I’m wishing for something
That’s never gonna come around
But even if it doesn’t
At least I can say
I was there
And I cared more
Than you ever knew
And I never stopped being there for you

Just in case I matter
Well I’ll be staying round here
For a long time yet
And if you ever need me
You know I’m right there
Just remember that I get lonely
Because you don’t even think about me

And I’m just trying to tell you
In a way that you’ll notice
More than if I scream it in your ear
If someway you’ll remember
Then that’s the way
I want it to be
I want to be with you
And I won’t stop trying

Even if you just don’t care
Just in case I matter
Well I’ll be staying round here
For a long time yet
And if you ever need me
You know I’m right there
Just remember that I get lonely
Because you don’t even think about me.


I just want something,One thing,Can’t you let me have someone,Anyone,Just for me,And this is what I seem to be,To everybody,Your last resort

I can relate to what you're trying to say.  You're trying so hard to send your message to us that you're angry.  I got the feeling that you were almost shouting at us, demanding us to listen.  Hey, at least I heard you.  One person is, most of the time, all it takes to start a brush fire.  Just know that at least one person in the world hears what you're trying to say!  Thanks, I really liked your piece.

Hang in there......
It's a good thing to release those thoughts and feelings!!!!

I like this one, as a poem.  As a statement of intention, I have to say-run, do not walk, away.  The moral high-position is an invitation to a wasted life. Go find someone who gets lonely without you. Or go be happy on your own. Leave a forwarding address in case this other person wises up, and live your life.
