Apathy

Romantics
Leave this world alone
Its has grown cold straight to the bone
Dreamer
You have no chance
There will be no dance

Feel with your heart
Expect to be torn apart
Piece it back together
Turn it around
See it all crumble to the ground

Watch in pain
as your tears are in vain
You can grit your teeth
Grind them to an ache
Scream for their souls
as laughter echoes in your face

You are not needed or wanted
The angels and saints
Have all been murdered
all their energy
all they aspired too
all that they have given us
Buried in a shallow unmarked grave
Forgotten by time


R.L.G.



Fade

Dim
Burning out before my time
A wasting life
I weaken at ever passing day
Exist only in an abyss, and nothing else
I decline to answer for my decay

R.L.G.

  • Quite the grim depictions here.

    I'm not sure "Apathy" is a fitting title for the first one, simply because you express some rather strong emotions against these things, whereas apathy would just not care. Just my two cents on that one, though.

    I really like the line "I decline to answer for my decay". Very... defeatist, in a creative way.

  • the whole point is apathy, the loss of hope. I guess maybe all poems really belong to whomever is reading it though. Thanks for the reply.

    Yah man... didn't mean to diss or anything. In the scheme of your writing, my opinion is dirt. :) Write for you, bask in the compliments, and give the finger to assholes who offer unsolicited constructive criticism. ;)
