Numb
I remember laughing,
Hanging out with friends,
Falling in love.
Things we're supposed to do
The laughter starts to disappear,
The friends all left,
Love becomes a foreign concept.
Things that happen.
It all starts to blend together,
Numbness replaces all emotion.
And you lie awake at night,
With a mirror and a blade.
At the sight of red,
The knife goes away.
No pain, no tears,
Just numbness.
