Apathy
I feel nothing
No wind
In which to saunter
No heat
In which to swelter
The sky of slate
Arouses nothing
Not one sweet sympathy
Wells in my soul
No melancholy memories
Consume but my whole
There is no emotion
Only apathy
Perhaps I have died a long time ago
Perhaps I'm a corpse in a world I don't know
Who would trade anything
To feel something
Anything
