If you care about me
You’ll stop
If you care about me
You will stop
My breath shallow heart racing
Paralyzed
Wrapped in fear pulse rate
High
And you just smile
Keep walking toward me
In that moment my mind
Slips away
A split fracture
Separating mind from body
And as words are spoken
Flash back void
Silently I pray in a vacuum
I pray you care enough
…to stop
To stop
To stop
You keep walking
Smiling
Looking through me
I close my eyes
…and disappear
