Indifferent

A very good friend finally described you to me. The word he has chosen is "indifferent." It is defined as "not caring one way or the other". How appropriate. I know you can say the right words and I would hear them. But I will stop listening to them because it is much easier that way. It has been like hearing the siren sing and doing everything it asks of you. But that is over now because I have stopped listening. And caring. I've become indifferent to you. That's what you have taught me.

Insensitive

How do you cool your lips
After a summer’s kiss?
How do you rid the sweat
After the body bliss?
How do you turn your eyes
From the romantic glare?
How do you block the sound
Of a voice you’d know anywhere?

Oh, I really should have known
By the time you drove me home
By the vagueness in your eyes
Casual good-byes
By the chill in your embrace
The expression on your face
That told me
You might have some advice to give
On how to be insensitive

How do you numb your skin
After the warmest touch?
How do you slow your blood
After the body rush?
How do you free your soul
After you’ve found a friend?
How do you teach your heart
It’s a crime to fall in love again?

Oh, you probably won’t remember me
It’s probably ancient history
I’m one of the chosen few
Who went ahead and fell for you
I’m out of vogue, I’m out of touch
I fell too fast, I feel too much
I thought that you might have
Some advice to give on how to be
Insensitive
