I am in loathsome desperation This lack of feeling is drowning me And I can't find a sufficiently safe distraction to break me through the surface (I'm not sure I want to be safe) Buried beneath the world of novels Living vicariously through characters that I wished were real Scrambling to bump into an emotion that will jump start my heart I feel dead I want someone to punch a hole in my gut with their lips I want someone's touch to ignite the fire (I want to meet an arsonist) Where is that spark that I used to lust for? Am I blind or broken? Possibly just lost Suffering through horrified adrenaline withdrawal I'm a ****** for standing on the edge Please, someone push me into relapse

I am no longer capable of feeling butterflies.....
