Detached

By Thorn

You seem so distant.

Or am I the one
Drifting away?

I realize...

I don't care...

Like I used to.

Because you seem to have
Nothing more to say.

We were apart
So long...

And now together, again.

But I don't feel like I did
Before you left.

I accepted that you were gone,
But now you have returned

Leaving me trapped...
Between mindsets and emotions.

...Or lack thereof.

Your absence made me realize...

I love you;
But I don't need you.

I know I would live on
Were we to part.

But I still want us to be
In hopes that these detached feelings...

Will pass...

As all things are wont to do.

    It may be spur of the moment, but I caught every emotion of it. I like it how its written. Wonderfully done.

    This one was spur-of-the-moment, too, so I haven't had time to refine it, yet.
