words you say

mean nothing,

(lip service), and even your eyes –

lie –

down by the river –

where you and I went walking –

(shallow water),

reflecting your (nothing) face –

(façade),

showing your feelings (less than darkness);

nothing is deeper than dark…

as much as – try,

to – care.

much more than do,

to – feel.

inability to respond is more victorious than nonchalance…

restricted?

bound by chains – unseen?

your lack of – want,

more painful than all the knives placed (emotionless) –

in my back!
