right then, the numbness slowly settled in.
first it devoured the incandescent parts of my life.
food lost its flavor, hugs provided no serenity for myself.
i was wasting away. it stole my family away as i sat there;
vulnerable, lost.
somehow the love we shared became frozen.
it took all that i could see, leaving me empty handed
and it swiftly infiltrated my heart.
thats why i no longer wanted you;
i knew i could never love you.
i sat unable to feel for i had forgotten
how to long ago.
