The Ice of Indifference

The Ice of Indifference

A Poem by Thoctar
"

This, Disintegrating, and Flames of Hatred form a sort of trilogy in a way.

The Ice of Indifference

I have been burnt by the Flames of Hatred
I have disintegrated so many times I can no longer comprehend them
What now?
What will strike next?

What could be worse than Flames or Destruction?
But the ice
The ice of indifference
It is closing in on me

If it closes in on me, if it swallows me up in its cold embrace
I will lose all empathy, all emotion
I will cause irreparable pain….
Horrible, terrible pain

At least with hatred you care about them
you can care about others
Indifference…
Looking upon all the same, upon all with nothing

Blank looks from the eyes
Looking forth upon the world
That is what you will see
If the ice consumes me

Slowly advancing
Covering burnt and destroyed ground
Building upon it all
Until I can no longer resist

And once I lose my ability to move
To resist, to escape
I shall no longer be able to live
Survive possibly, but not live

I cannot be swallowed by the ice of indifference
Therein lies the destruction of all
Flames merely burn, disintegration merely does away with the body
The Ice traps and destroys all
