Loss For Words

At a loss for words,

the screen is empty.

My mind is void

of any contempt.

Of any emotion,

everything less feeling.

The numbness returns,

the pain unsettled.

At a loss for love,

in dreams they come.

Thoes who I wish

had never left.

They all leave.

Leaving me undecided,

of who I should turn to,

of who I should trust.

I'll force myself,

to make up the words.

To mask the numbness

that so easily spreads.

There is no life,

no darkness, no light.

There is no future

without worry

without contempt.

I wish for anger,

so at least I could feel.

The only feeling I feel

is stress.

I'll take these pills

because they told me

I need them.

I know I need them.

They numb the words

the feelings,

the contest.

At a loss for words

my life so empty.

Never so full,

but you'd never know.

At a loss for love,

they come to me dreaming.

I'll force myself

to feel less numb.
