A Conversation about Caring

"Put down that blade, please for me."

"Why should I, what do you care?"

"I've made mistakes, that I see."

"Mistakes. You were just never there."

"It's not too late, please."

"I need you to hear."

"I'm listening sweetie, honestly."

"This is no dare."

"I understand completely."

"I am sincere."

"I agree."

"Be aware."

"Me?"

"Care."
