listener

i chime with equal tones toward her
no matter how i'm struck
do your worst, i'll outlive your curse
and genuinely say "good luck"
it's not that i don't sympathize
it's simply that i do not care
to hear you tearing her apart
for everything you wish you were
i do not care
what you call caring from the heart
i call egocentric fear
