The Harmony of Apathy

There is a misplacement in me

Sadness in a note

Love in a tone

Pain that no one else seems to feel

But where is the empathy?

Where is the sympathy?

Apathy.

I feel-

Little

I feel-

Silence

Or rather I feel-

Where Silence is meant to be

When words would have been

Better left unspoken

When you bare your soul

For the world to hear

Should you really be surprised

When they steal it?

Or melt it?

Or freeze it?

I feel the pain, the loss, the love

There – just now

In a note

A melody.

The Harmony

of Apathy.
