Numb
To an ex. (When we together.) And to depression. (Who fucks everybody's life up.)
Unresponsive to your caressing embrace.
I’m unable to feel your gentle touches.
Neglecting each word you whisper into my ear.
I’m incapable of ceasing to cry, although you’re wiping away my tears.
Dying from the numbness which swallows my soul.
Emotions never die;
heartbreak never fades.
If saying “sorry” does not repair shattered glass, then why would it fix a broken heart?
Cold and frozen in stillness...
Like a statue with a heartbeat pounding on it’s stone chest.
Rejecting every feeling of happiness, love and of being wanted because losing them hurts more than not having them in the first place.
Abandoning the soft strokes as you move my hair.
I am leaving my body behind, alone, to suffer in the chill of the night.
Hollowed from the inside out.
I am incompetent of feeling anything anymore.
This pain stays hidden, shadowed behind my prison of darkness.
The scars remain concealed within my laughter and in my cacophony of thoughts.
Every night I seek out my one true escape...
But, here in your arms, I am trembling with fear, yet I am also too numb to absorb any emotions...
