Numb

 
Words spoken, they bring me pain;
Cover my heart, they only break through!
        Lay my heart on the stone!

Misunderstood, as I would misunderstand,
Smart I am called, dumb they make me feel;
  Down the Nile my happiness floats.
 
        Love for me, did it ever exist?
   Was I a game to play, a loser to fool?
Wisdom took a vacation, I was left bleeding.

Left in the cold waiting, broken,
body and heart in winter alike,
    for a broken man I am.

Walking dead I am, numb and alone;
never to feel love, true love again.
