Until Its Too Late

Why does no one see the tears,
Until they roll down their face?
Why does no one see the broken,
Until they're lost without a trace?
Why does the world turn its back on you,
When all you need is support?
Why doesn't anyone care enough,
Until you're at the last resort?

They set your heart on fire and watched you burn (watched you burn),
The tears quench the emptiness of the love you yearned.
No one tried to help or to relate,
Because no one loved you until it was too late.

*i don't particuarly like this piece in poetic sense and i simply think it is a very poor piece as far as quality is concerned however the subject is something i really wanted to express because i've seen that reaction several times (only with threats of suicide) and it can be really upetting that someone you hold close can act like you dont exist until your on the verge of death.*
