Take my love away,
My desires, my feelings.
If I can't have you, I don't want to love.
Take away my ability to feel.
I can't stomach the pain.
The happiness around me is too vibrant,
The sadness too real to watch.
My feelings are too extreme to enjoy.
I'd rather feel numb than lonely.
I'd rather not feel than to feel too intensely.
I sound cynical, cold, hard.
But I'd rather be that than broken.
