Dear Apathy

Dear Apathy

Fear but a figment of imagination

Happiness only a longing thought

Here in my mind dreams are of reality

Peace and war are but the same screaming child

Love can be seen slain in my shattered heart

 Dear Apathy

Long ago i went into your arms

An embrace that freed me from the pain

A solitary life sheared of desire

Eyes that have seen so much close as the emotions flee

Kindness you have given me

If i return the favor you will take it the wrong way

So here i sit in this darkened room thinking of you 

Given so much and taken more away

Lips turning up as i feel

Nothing

So many things going on in this poem. Vivid and bold emotions are shown within this. Also tells a great story that goes along with this. Good work :3
