12/01: apathy

apparently, music eats up the beauty of serious topics.

so, a moment of silence—

would probably be expected, but i doubt
that even with the deafening silence after
the detonation of a bomb
or the shot of a gun
or a lover's confession,

that you'd take me seriously.

i think i have loved you since time immemorial.
into the ground my heart goes when i see it isn't mutual.

but whatever.

you're prettier in the distance anyway.
