Apathy

The next attack has come and it is one I didn’t expect

A feeling of emptiness and one of which is hard to detect

I feel that my brother has left me and moved on to other things

It is amazing the amount of pain that such a feeling brings

I wish my brother would keep me and things would remain

But it looks like that is not the case and soon he will forget my name

And so this attack begins for I am tired and alone

The apathy grows and sinks as deep as the bone

I question why God placed him in my life 

And wonder why now the relationship is full of strife

I remember back when we were strong 

And ask myself what on earth went wrong

But again the apathy rises 

And again I try to fight it.
