~ Just a Picture? ~

How is it, then,
That a simple picture could
Tear my world apart?
No breath, no life,
Not even a thousand words,
Could ever explain
Why.
One simple picture,
Although there have been so many
More.
It's not even the picture,
But the subject.
The answer surely lies
In simple disinterest,
Uncaring apathy, now.
You have your world,
I have mine...
Or what's left of it.
And if all it takes
Is a simple picture,
Then I wish I could be blind.
So I wouldn't see
That you just don't care.
