The indifference

Your intense eyes
Opened to my aching heart
A path to emancipation.
And the stench from my past faded away
Letting me breathe, once again.
I am just a twig in your huge cast
I only obtain from you
the elements that help me survive.
Wish I were truly alive.
Not that I am obscure to you
Not that I am absent
Yet too far from evident.
You go past me
Like fragrance pervades the air
Like sand settles in the sea
In a moment of transient bliss.
And you leave me longing
For the regard that I miss.
True that your presence keeps me going
But your coldness kills me.
Amid this solace and pain
Lingers my revived destiny.
