Numb
Suddenly you just feel numb.
Lips locked,
Limbs frozen,
Seized up and motionless.
Head empty
Constant white noise.
Why?
Tongue too big for your mouth.
Lips too dry and cracked.
A constant ache you hadn't noticed,
Until you tried to relax.
Every breath some impossible task -
So you procrastinate.
Why?
Weary eyes and exhausted muscles,
Frail skin and chipped nails.
Mind clouded and throbbing,
Pounding, spinning off the rails
Pain gnawing, stabbing,
Eating away at your insides.
Why?
Immense loneliness surounds you -
Trapping you in the dark.
Consumed by your mistakes
In the void you stay,
Unable to scream or cry or protest in any way -
That you shouldn't be feeling this pain,
So Why?
Heart jumping at the sound of footsteps
But nobody's coming to look for you.
No - There isn't anybody left.
This isn't normal
Is it?
But it's just easier.
Nobody has to know.
Maybe it's better to feel something
Than nothing at all.
