i feel aged
i feel ruined
i feel the greatest depths of the ocean
i feel the plummeting canyons
and dark trenches

i feel worn
i feel useless
i feel alone in all forms of the word
i feel completely exhausted of life
and of a sane state of mind

i feel a vacant ache
i feel an inky bruise
i feel the indelible marks
left by every word to exit your mouth
which have struck me so firmly in the back

i feel discordant eyes upon me
i feel you avert your gaze as I draw near
i feel the rise of your heart in your chest
and the wave of emotion from your soul
but not mine

i feel
i feel
i feel
i feel too much
yet i feel nothing at all
