Couchant

Apathy is my sanctuary
Your severed sympathies are gone
Spring has lost its beauty
Replaced by sinking dawn

I treasured feeling deeply
The fatal mask of faith fell on
But I’ve surrendered to my belfry
To play my mourning song

A life has died—hear the bell cry
Emotion replaced by motion
Neutrality the reason why
Mind gave way to incessant erosion

Heart does not move nor is eye dreary
While I am left with mem’ry to build upon
Past paints future's picture clearly
The entirety of color is withdrawn
