numb

At the end - even 'dignity' doesn't matter.
what the hell
is dignity, anyway?
ok - so i won't have that advantage
of picking up where we left off -
with someone else
or begin another life.
i wish it were that effortless
and that easy to begin anew
but with each passing day
i feel weaker - even the love
i felt for you
seeps out and falls to the floor
in great pools
that time evaporates
until  .. there's nothing left in me
to give .
and even this pain you leave me with
takes too much effort for me to show
eyes stare blankly ahead
too numb
to care.
