Apathy is a painful indifference
A lack of caring that
eats away at you like a swarm of ghost maggots
Like a tree that shed
all its leaves in autumn, I woke up caring for nothing
I don’t belong to
anything in this world, nothing belongs to me
I’m so far from
everything
A Godless hell, a phantom
guilt beyond wrongdoing and right doing
People, like lifeless mannequins,
I expect nothing from
My heart, a locked cold
damp basement, I’ve lost they key to
The dreams that once hung
from my laden branches, ripe, and heavy
fell to the ground,
bruised, worm infested apples
the memory of living
for a dream lingers, a faint nostalgic scent
I wish my apathy would
let me laugh, I wish it would make me cry
Instead of floating aimlessly
in this emotional limbo,
A starless, moonless
sky,
A sunless day,
A laborious, eventless
week, without rest.
