Care Vs. Care-Care

Emily Miller

you said you care but
there is a difference in care
and care care
Don't worry
I will not ask you to care care
nor will I ask you to care
Because I know all about people
not care caring
And I am more comfortable there
I will not ask you to hold me, touch me
make love to me because that is
about care caring
And I know little about it
other than to know that it is
reserved for others not me
Especially, necessarily, with you.
