Apathetic Heart
There's a blank space next to me
Where you used to be
It's not empty, but filled
by a mockery of what we had together
I don't know you anymore
and you don't seem to understand me
When did you stop trying?
I know I've lost you
Do you know you've lost me?
I wonder if you even care
that things are no longer the same
that what we shared is gone
that the bond we had was torn apart
by a lack of effort
and an apathetic heart
