But You Do

Dedicated to James Earl Gamble II
Why do my thoughts matter to you so much?
No one else cares enough
To search out my mind
But you do
Why does it matter to you if I hurt or not?
Everyone else just hurts me again
They don't care for what I feel
But you do
Why do you think I'm so wonderful?
Because I'm no in my eyes or their eyes
They don't think I have promise
But you do
Why do you think that I am so beautiful?
I point out only my flaws as does everyone else
I don't see an image of beauty
But you do
I don't know whether to call you blind
Or say that you have futuristic sight
No one else cares about me enough to love me
But you do
