Maybe if I ignore him, he goes away. Maybe if I don't do what I say, he fades away. Maybe if I disconnect my heart, he dies too. Maybe if all I say is untrue, he loses too. But it's not so hard for me. I have a new shoulder to lean upon. It's not so hard for me now that I have this new shoulder. It's a mere replacement and it will do. I have a new face to bury mine in. I have a new heart to bury mine in. I have a new life to bury mine in. I am blind to the future. I am lost with no shoulder. I accept no advice. And I have paved my way to nothing.
