Numb With Pain

Tears slide down my cheeks
But I’m not crying.
My chest hurts
But it’s distant.
My heart beats
But I can’t feel it.
Why? Because you made me numb with the pain.

You accuse, abuse and shout
I beg pray and plead
You want so much from me
Yet give nothing in return
But I don’t really care anymore
Why? Because you made me numb with the pain.

I love you but don’t know why
You make me lose loved ones
Make me fight and argue with them
Not that you care
And not that it matters
Why? Because you made me numb with the pain.

My cheeks are now dry
Stained by the once shed tears
My chest no longer hurts
It’s just empty
My heart still beats
But not the once happy beat
Why? Because you made me numb with the pain.
