Her voice is starting to fade
into the background of memories
that she and I so carefully laid
out like three years worth of dirty tapestries.

"I love you" is now a phrase
cloaked in apathy,
a mutter of former days
that drudges forth all of my empathy.

Now just a voice carried
by telephone lines and electricity,
The one I would have married
will have nothing to do with me.

If I died for her, she would never know,
neither should I care, for I believe I'm ready to go.
