What's the point
What's the point of a coffee
To show you that I care
What's the point of a flower
To show you what you mean
What's the point of any of this
When you mean to show that you don't care
Is it that I read you wrong
In the hours that we share
Is it the attention that you love
In the words I write for you
Is it? What is it that you won't say
Its there, I know you care, all you have to do is share
To show you that I care
What's the point of a flower
To show you what you mean
What's the point of any of this
When you mean to show that you don't care
Is it that I read you wrong
In the hours that we share
Is it the attention that you love
In the words I write for you
Is it? What is it that you won't say
Its there, I know you care, all you have to do is share

This poem has a potential there. It could be a longer poem perhaps to give it somewhat more depth. In my opinion it would read better with at least one more stanza

Thanks for that.
Most of the short ones are written on my phone and are not, but should be given a chance to develop. Have added one more like you suggested.

I think this is pretty good being short. While there is room to develop it, it's not really necessary. The petite style gives a metaphorical representation of the short relationship, the one-sidedness and allows for punchy power rather than drawn out emotions (:
