PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

let me feel anything else.

i want to pretend, like everyone else.

this world is a wonderful place.

numb, numb, numb.

left only with a crumb

of how we used to be.

dumb, dumb, dumb.

too vacant to be glum.

now you see the real me.

no place to run

but i have room to hide

inside my head.

i'm in your bed

and you're getting bored

of all the swallowed words.

i'm trying, i'm trying.

can't you see, i'm dying

for a love that hasn't hit full bloom.

there's nothing you can do

but watch it consume

and i wish i felt anything else.
