"Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies."-Ellie Wiesel


facebook statuses, 
twitter updates,
text-message-reply-delays,
walk aways:
all to prove we don't care,
begging ourselves not to,
doing all we can to dodge the feeling
that we're weaker than expected
and 
hurt. 
not one of us is above 
emotion,
intended to love, 
sacrifice,
and be vulnerable to 
pain.
because:
the most common guilt
is the revelation 
that you cared farther than the 
other, 
should've been more 
careful(less)
so as to not be the more
human
of the two.
and yet, 
no one is the 
only
to wake up to that 
thing
pounding in their 
chests 
that disregards anything
above it. 
I lie.
(I do care. 
a lot.)
