numb

by khadjahelaine

This numbness seems to grow when you’re around

It lingers behind corners

Creeps up from my toes

You used to love me deep

Now I sit in closets

Wiping tears from my eyes

Your presence warmed my heart

Moved me to walk away from all others

Now I feel trapped

It’s your embrace I want to escape

This numbness has taken over me

Clouded my judgement

Made it hard to love

To care

To reach out

You hardly even notice

Because it’s always about you

You never stop to wonder

If it’s all because of you

That my heart has frozen over

An arctic inside

The numbness has taken over

Watch me slowly die
