So maybe I still miss you, but apathy is the way I want to feel towards you; I want the ache in my chest to diminish, to be completely extinguished in a quick fleeting moment. But itβs more like erosion, only washing away the most miniscule amount at a time. Decreasing the pain in the tiniest of amounts, taking decades and centuries of wind, light, and rain to morph it into what I desire it to be, without any distinguished timeline. Just natural causes that move uncontrollably along, constantly irritating, festering, and ripping the scab of the wound in awkward moments of solitude. **Iβm a slave to the tormenting low burning throb.
