Would You?

Would You care
If I hung up
And never called back?

Would You care
If I never replied
To any of your message?

Would You care
If something bad
Happened to me?

Would You care
If I drowned
In my worsening depression?

Would You care
If I moved
Across the country
To avoid thoughts,
And memories
Of  You?

Would You care
If I ran
Away from home?

Would You care
If I started doing drugs
To ease the pain?

Would You care
If I cried all night?

Would You care
If I took my own life?

Would You care?

Would You...
