It’s not that I don’t care
it’s that I do not have the energy
to respond
that which you want to hear.
It’s not that I don’t see
it’s that I see too much
of then and now
and what will fail to be.
It’s not that I don’t hear
it’s that there is no point in saying
anything
since you won’t really hear.
It’s just the way I feel
and nothing you can do or say
will make your words
seem true, or even real.
