apathy

what did it
matter
that you
said you
still cared?
knowing
my soul was
bared
i was
scared
never shared
unprepared

where did
the days
go
craze, daze
full of praise

why was it so
hollow
when the dark
did
follow
what did it matter
now
that
bit is
gone
you
rest in
oblivion
addiction
submission
to the
apathetic nature
of the
topical anesthetic
