No Me Importa

in my search and plight for the most downtrodden man
as if i could even assist, with these tear sodden hands
i spoke the only thing i ask of you
just warn me when you'll be leaving soon
he replied that's what any human being would do
but i've loved robots and statues, 
dreams and lies for less
the truth remains, i am too weak and dishonest to protest
i've watched the sun set
over some odd years
it's almost finished now
i must be almost finished


the glassy mirror shows me more that i despise
than the shallow surface of her glassy eyes
and i threw rocks at her window
i left notes at her door
i rode passenger in her car
that was not the same vehicle as before
i cried and i begged, i sat in silence for 2190 days
i talked and talked and talked to everyone as if i wouldn't be betrayed

i found a friend or two
who stayed 
and stayed
and stayed
i shattered all the jars and all the vases
crying through a sappy smile at all the disarray
