out of sight, out of mind

i have been thinking about the loss of physical presence,

physical absence
does it change the way you feel about it?
or as the saying goes, when it is out of sight, is it out of your mind?
most likely, your answer would be
"well, it depends."

if it is something that you're obsessed with, infatuated with momentarily,
then no, it is still on your mind,
for the time being

i'd like to imagine that we are creatures of imagination and that
without its physical presence, we are still able to dream, fantasize, paint
however, i'm already having trouble being committed to what is in front of me,
i feel detached from most things, most people
anger rises knowing i have no willpower to change,
to care, to wait

out of sight, out of mind,
out of touch, out the door,
   it just hurts knowing that
i was right all along...
