Indifference

When love grows cold
Puzzled and confused we grieve
Like a malignancy spreads
Deadly deception
Manifests astounds derails
Emotions self-pride riot
Rushing into defense mode

Like chemo exhausts
Worn drained the storm clouds gather
Advice abundant
Blind dates rejected
Remission slowly ensues
Indifference born

Indifference is a defense mode. Sometimes what's in the eyes is not in the heart. I liked this. Vince

i heard it said the oppisite of love is not hate but Indirfference. this poem reflects some of the thing's that may have gone wrong with out me knowing about it. the line "rushing in to defence mode." i have questions about. the first defence is a good offence loving first before expecting love. catching eye contact. unless you have something to be guilty of then your chances are slim. jhl
