Expendable

How can what was so strong
Become so weak?
How does physical distance
Equal emotional distance?
Why do the people we know
Become the people we knew?
Why is it so hard
To pick up that damn phone?
Why do I try so hard
To keep a door open
When you just let it shut.
Why do I care?
Why do I get attached?
Why does it hurt?
It is said
And has been done
All that's left
Is the carbon copy
And it makes me wonder
If anything was ever

Really there at all...
