Apathetic Lover



Burning bright with apathy,
She looks me in the eye.
I wanted to go out with her,
She looked like she could die.
I asked her just to to be my friend,
Indifferently she shrugged.
Because I took initiative,
She and I briefly hugged.
Foolishly I only saw,
What I wanted to see.
I didn't know she only felt,
Indifference to me.
When she pulled away from me,
I guess she looked relieved.
But at the time I did not know,
My senses were deceived.
I thought that I was looking at,
A girl who felt the same.
In reality of course,
She'd no time for my game.
Her heart belongs to someone else,
I have to now concede.
So time has come to let her go,
My conscience has decreed.
