IT NEVER REALLY MATTERED

i guess that it
never really mattered
what i wanted
or
what i needed
i guess that it
never really mattered
if i were happy
if my needs
were met
if my tears
ceased to flow
i guess that it
never really mattered
that i sat in resentment
for days on end
as you ignored me
as you put
everything and everyone
before me.
i guess that it
never really mattered.
