adjective; having or showing little emotion; not interested or concerned; indifferent or unresponsive

I trusted you,

Oh how I trusted you,

Until the very end. 

Until you held the match you lit, 

The embers ignited in your eyes, 

While you watched me burn, 

Smirking at my misery. 

And I stayed, 

Because I thought you could change,

Thought I could change you.

But all you did was, 

Bulldoze carelessly, 

Over those who get in your way,

Always painting yourself the victim, 

To avoid facing the blame. 

And I gave you my secrets that I kept locked in my head, 

And used them against me instead.

And when ground broke beneath my feet,

And tried to sallow me whole,

And I knew you knew,

And you said nothing at all,  

I knew you never cared for me at all. 

I’ve been treading water my whole life, 

And all you have done is pull me under, 

Again and again. 

The haziness you left in your wake, 

Has yet to fade, 

So I watch myself ,

Walk through my life, 

Without feeling for anything, 

At all.

But you always come back to me,

Changing your form, 

So I don’t recognise you,

But it’s always the same, 

You leave me burning at the stake,

While you laugh at my wake.
