the alter

imagine a bride
standing and waiting at the alter of life
just waiting for you
but for some reason you never came
you don't realize the pain
in her eyes
you don't realize how much of it
you put there
she's been waiting along time
but you never showed
you never called
she wonders how much you care now
do you even care at all?
it pains her to ask the question
when she already knows the answer
she misses you so much
i miss you
where did you go?
you left me at the alter
i could n't wait forever
not for someone
who has lost interest
in us
in the relationship we once had
you aren't there
it hurt too much
i did care
it hurt
i stopped
i don't care
you hurt me
by leaving me
but you will not
haunt me
your ghost
will not hurt me
finally
and for once
i stopped caring
i'm the girl at the alter
you never showed
so i walked away
do you care
now?
