Dark Indifference

Shining eyes and dancing, flying steps  
with a smile that makes one feel blessed  
Their touch divine miracle, every day eternity  
Joy followed in their wake, life delighted entirely  

The change was so subtle, no precise start  
Once brilliance and light, now shadow and night  
Vacancy and darkness where upon a time  
flawless euphoria, absolute joy all mine  
 
I observe as I devolve helpless, incapable  
halting the dark indifference impossible  
Transformation would require knowledge  
uncomprehending of what possessed me  
 
Perhaps I was overrun, dominated  
A vessel for malignant wraith which hated  
Incited undiluted apathy, so very tragic  
To illuminated, immortal soul, creating utter havoc  
Recompense for who died in misery, forsaken  
 
Is this my ultimate destiny, my lifelong plight  
to be erased by impassivity, expunged from the light?  
So far excised from emotion that even logic has no part  
in the equation of salvation to bring light to my heart?  
 
Indifference is the impeccable opposite of all emotion  
blocking a soul from ecstasy here and Above  
If this is my fate, I beg for inhuman compassion  
Separate me eternally  from mortal life, if I merit love.

Author's Note
COMPETITION PIECE: In Kabbalistic thought, a dybbuk (restless malevolent spirit) can overtake a person and transform them into what the spirit had been like when alive. In this, the dybbuk has overtaken myself, rendering me apathetic and indifferent to the world to such a degree that I would rather be dead that stay as I am.
