Chronic Apathy

Like a lucid dream, reality became a mirage
She appeared to me like an angel, skin glowing in the sun
Clad in the most beautiful shade of blue
Hypnotized, I stood fixated by her black bewitching eyes

Her face, captivating like the piercing radiant moon
Hair, mesmeric like the sublime night sky
She is a tryst of your dreams and desire
A gift, a beautiful gift from mother nature.

She hails from the dreams, your mind feeds
A mysterious conjuration of perfection
But all this fades away as the void in me takes over
And I’m left estranged in my body without a soul.

My heart, an oblivious stone
My mind, a pond of stagnant thoughts
Emotions, a garland of rotten roses on my neck
My eyes, see nothing but the darkness in this gray world

This apathy, it masticates me, dictates my existence
Devoid of feelings, oppressing urges and thoughts
Thus she’ll be just another beauty, this beast never loved
This world an enigma, this beast never cared about.

This apathy, it’ll never go away
And I’ll never know what it is like…………to feel.
