Indifference Poem, by Heart on my Sleeve, at My poetic side

Most likely, you think I hate you

no, not hate, but worse.

You assume indifference

But that is where you're wrong

I am quite different.

Different, but not from you

How little, in difference we are

yet between us lies a sea

with waves of different walks

We don't walk different.

We walk the same, yet

I fear you'll walk a different street

And interfering dissidence

of non-indifferent traffic

makes crossing rather arduous

Of this, I am not indifferent.

Of this, I am of hate.

This poem ends on a very strong word such a contrast from the opening. Indifference seems to have been shed revealing stronger underlying emotions. Nicely written
