The hurt,
       The physical pain
             piercing my body-
Like a red-hot dagger through the heart.
That used to accompany
the very mention of your name
    has faded
       dissipated
It is lost in the sea of nothingness.
   That hopeless place
       where I foolishly
          clung to the belief
you possess the capacity
     to care for anyone
           outside of yourself.
