Your absense, disregarded
It brings contentedness
Knowing you'll be here
The faintest of lies could be ameliorating
Only to abstain thereafter
Defraud has already been done
Must I cease the speculation
I've heard your voice
Reiterated in my own thoughts
So vivid, yet disheartening
A lost opportunity
To perceive the initial tone
That was once there
Shame is felt
For you to bare this obscure history
Our presence is made
Indifference
Who are you? Who am I? What are we?
You've made your statement
Consigned to oblivion
Walk away
With the pride you've amassed
To acquire it for yourself
Shame is felt
For you to bare this obscure history
Eye to eye
Indifference
Who are you? Who am I? What are we?
You attempt to waive the problems away
Afflicting you
Though it does not thwart you
It's now set and done
It mitigates your negativity
Knowing you aren't the one enduring
Knowing you've left
With harvested pride
You've repleted yourself with competency
Your remorseless eyes glare
At the firsthand demise set before you
You've had me spellbound
I break away from your fettering chains
I will not reciprocate
Shame is felt
For you to bare this obscure history
Eye to eye
Indifference
I recall what was once there
Knowing what it was
My words stay sincere to you
I will not reciprocate
