Indifference

This was the game
We played it well

I open myself to you
You stare blankly

I try to touch you
you turn away

I say "I love you"
You say nothing

I say "I hate you"
You say "you'll get over it"

I want in your life
You shut the door

I try all my keys
You change the locks

I walk away
You say "Good-bye"

It means nothing
You make it clear

I come back
You say "Hello"

I am nothing
You make it clear

Can't you feel
Beside indifference?

I long for you
You reach in need

I respond
Pretend it matters

I stroke your cheek
You absently smile

How sad am I
That this is enough?

I try to change you
I am changed

I stop caring
You don't start

I am alone and lost
you don't look for me

I am here
You can't see me

I lose touch
You don't hold on

I drift away
You can't swim

I say "Good-bye"
You don't miss me
