The struggle has
raged on for many years
The battle
between love and indifference
The blade so
close to the heart
This sharp blade
of indifference
To feel the need
to pull away
To keep the
loving heart safe
The compelling
need to draw the blade in
To experience
the world of no cares
To drive the blade
deeper
To kill all
desire of feeling love
To drive away
all who are close
To bring those
who are close closer
To plunge them
into the world of indifference
To spread it
across the world
To preserve the
good seems futile
The glorious
feeling of numbness
The need to no
longer care
This is the
compelling drive of indifference
To give in is
success, or failure
To save what is
good
To preserve the
heart
To be okay
To be enough

It's an eternal battle, isn't it, Jeff? Do we want to take the risk or do we want to remain safe? -- The dagger is a fierce and compelling metaphor.
