NUMB

Photo by Alexander Sinn on Unsplash

sometimes

i sit and stare

at the wall,

feeling so much,

i feel nothing

at all.

i’ve become so numb

i don’t

b r e a k

my fall.

because broken wrists

are nothing compared

to your fists

in my hair.

nothing compared

to the way you

n e v e r c a r e d.

i’ve become

so numb

i can't feel you cut

a hole in my gut,

i can't feel you

reaching up

to puncture my lungs,

to steal my heart for fun

and throw it in the trash

when you’re done.

no, i’m so numb

i cant feel

a n y o n e ’ s love.

all i can feel

is this empty shell

you left me with,

a vacant hell

i shiver in,

a black abyss

t r a p p e d in skin.

so, sometimes

i sit and stare

at the wall.

feeling

everything and

n o t h i n g at all.
