Don't You?

on unraveling, one question at a time

Don't you feel Exactly the way I do? Don't you know How much I want you?

Don't you dream Of me in the night? Don't you stutter When I catch your sight?

Don't you miss All those morning walks? Don't you giggle Thinking of our irrelevant talks?

Don't you love When I call your name? Don't you smile Watching me do the same?

Don't you see Me disappearing in the dark? Don't you sense Life losing its spark?

Don't you hear My screams and pain? Don't you find It all turning me insane?

Don't you bother About this devastating end? Don't you worry When I don't hold your hand?

Don't you listen to The sound of my heart? Don't you repent Watching me falling apart?

Don't you crumble Finding me all alone? Don't you collect My pictures on your phone?

Don't you laugh At the silly things I do? Don't you believe When I say I love you?

Don't you want To be mine once again? Don't you like To rule my heart and brain?
