Numb
I have dived down to the depths of my despair
Every feeling that has ever been in the world, I have felt
I am exhausted from the constant turmoil of my heart being shredded, piece by indescribable piece
I have arrived at a comfortable level of numbness in my body, heart and soul
Nothing of me left but an outer shell,
Damaged as it is
My soul has left me tonight, along with him
There is nothing either of us could say now that could possibly make me whole again
This time the damage has been done beyond measure
I am sure comfort could be found by me if I was able to feel some bit of hatred towards him
Unfortunalty the numbness refuses to acknowledge this fact
It prefers to remain unattached as to save me from anymore spitefulness that may be cast my way by him
The constant love/hate that we ran through together these past few months has caused another demon to emerge from the back left corner of my brain
For now he just stands to the side...watching...waiting
A pen in one hand
A notebook in the other
He makes notes everytime I start to think about wanting to feel...something...anything
I fear he will be the final hit that destroys the only thing left of me...the shell of my body
The only thing left to ask is whether I will allow myself to be destroyed or block the final blow when it comes
I pray I can find the strength peeking through my now numb brain
To chose the right course to proceed onward
The image of what will become of me this time is too much for me to bare
