Why do I bother?

Why do I bother?
By: Mantis3216

Your heart is empty
and as cold as snow
Now I am sitting here crying
with no place to go

All I wanted was a word of approval
it proved to be too much
You live without family or friends
never slowing down from the rush

Now the people around you
are drifting away
You have no place to go
and no place to stay

Waking up with a grudge
to head off to work
Come home to ignore us
sit, eat, and sleep you jerk

Just remember you are becoming
a blank page in my book
While you were sitting on that couch
it was my world that you shook

I turn to you and smile with the hope
I held in my heart, "I love you"
Never did your focus stray
from the TV you were attached to

I was speaking to you father...
Why do I even bother?
