Resignation

I don’t care.
I don’t care what or who I’ve become.
I don’t know.
I don’t know how you think I should feel…
now…
It’s fine.
I know this is the life I chose for you.
I know the way you make me feel
is all I should need.
I guess it makes up for everything
just knowing you are okay.
That’s all I need.
I don’t care.
I don’t care how this happened to me.
I don’t mind.
I don’t mind this place I happen to be…
now…
It’s fine.
I know this is the life I chose for you.
To know you’re well, that’s all I need.
It’s true. It’s true.
My mind doesn’t need to wander.
My heart doesn’t need to race anymore.
I can’t remember what I lost now;
ever since I got this ring, somehow,
it’s faded out and muted down…
I never think to look around.
It used to matter, now it can’t.
I stay so calm. I used to rant
about starvation in my soul,
and now it’s just an empty hole.
I don’t care.
I don’t care how much love’s costing me.
I don’t feel.
I don’t feel like someone other than me…
now…
It’s fine.
I know this is the life I chose for you.
It’s love. It’s pure.
That’s all there is to know.
It’s true.
I no longer want for anything.
Nothing makes sense beyond you.
You’re all I need.
