Numb

Blinds are shut tight
Keeping the light out
Making the room a living tomb

Sitting in bed
Blankets surrounding my cold body
Not providing any warmth

Red rimmed eyes staring at the picture on the wall
Hard to believe that I was ever that happy

Maybe it was because you were in my life
I don’t remember ever being as happy when you weren’t there

But now that you’re gone I wish I was too
Why couldn’t you have taken me with you?

The note said you loved me
That I was yours forever
But if you really cared then why are you eternaly gone?

I’m so alone its hard to describe
I’ve cried more tears than a nation of poverty
And more numb than any anesthetic can provide

I looked through the photo album uncountable times
You were in nearly all the snap-shots
I can’t believe that I couldn’t see your pain
You hid it so well, no one could have known
