OK, I finally get it

Where are the people who care?

Do they really exist?

Everyone has an agenda

Everyone is out for themselves

I love you, I respect you, I care about you

Words with no meaning

Words used to open hearts

Lay bare your soul

Once open, the manipulation begins

How can I get what I want for as long as I can?

Smile, laugh, compliment

All while tearing, ripping, breaking

Human nature is no better than animal nature

Hugs were invented so you couldn't see the knife

About to slip into your back

Piercing your heart and soul

Friendship, love, relationship, respect, honesty

All have lost meaning, twisted into ugliness

Their truth buried beneath cold earth

The map to their location lost for eternity

I will not stay in a cold world such as this

I will no longer be a source of joy for others to use

Maybe true hearts are no longer a part of this world

Maybe evolution has eliminated them as weak

I just don't have any more energy to share
My life force drained
Depleted then cast aside
Maybe I should just stop caring
