numbness falls over me;
like a thick wool blanket protecting me from the cold of a dark, winter night
insulated and warm,
my feelings fade away.
yet the coldness surrounding me remains,
constantly inviting me to play.
I wonder how long this numbing will last?
when will the sun rise again and another empty night like this will have fully passed?
returning with the day is the pain of this freezing terrain,
reminding me just how little from the darkness I’ve really strayed;
I know this is only a temporary wait to sustain.
