Numb and Deaf
Disconnected.
Body and spirit.
This environment taught me the trick of the trade.
Anniversaries don’t mean much.
Birthdays ain’t nothing.
Just another day.
Appreciation gone out the window.
Misery loves company.
Your love no longer a team.
It becomes a game of survivor.
You either sink or swim.
You want the old me.
But this prison has taken her body prisoner.
Spirit, the escapee.
She has become numb to the love she once felt.
To the kisses and hugs
She has become deaf to the love she once heard.
To the laughter and cries.
The spirit flies away free, feeling the world.
While my body becomes cold.
