I'm not going to lie. A piece of me died today. The part of me that I saved for you. For the rest of my life. I'm not going to lie. And say that it didn't hurt like hell. Hearing the truth from your lips Ripped my heart open And left behind...nothingness. A shell of knowing that I did all I could. And it was not good enough. And never will be. So now, as I sit here I can feel the numbness creeping up on me And wrapping its arms around my rib cage Just tight enough to make me feel oddly put together And never tight enough to make me feel loved But nevertheless... I welcome it. Numbness is bliss
