I'm really sorry I can't hold on to you. I regret every time I don't huge you tight enough or say the right things. I've lost something.
I think it was the ability to feel. I look at all this joy, all the pain, and my chest hurts when I laugh or I can feel the warm wells of water form in the crevices of my eyes when I cry, but...it is brief.
I overthink everything, is this normal?
Though I swear that there was pure happiness. It was lasting and I lost it.
Please come back.
I need to work on a really great poem soon, I find myself struggling. Amnesia took a lot out of me.

I'm looking outside the classroom window
thinking of how i'm going to manipulate this ink
into symbols expressing emotions to catch those of others

how to annotate pain
how to demonstrate euphoria
i look outside the window again. i'm trying too hard

no aches
no delights
no inspiration

cold-blooded and passionless
i wait for ingenuity
but it's not coming

i can't ******* go on like this
i can't look people in the eye and tell them i don't care
knowing i'm not lying
I'd still rather feel everything than nothing. There's no beauty in nothing. But is the risk of getting hurt worth feeling something?

My hand glides across the page
Oblivious to what it's scrawling
Ink drags in streaks and curves
Without connection, without heart
Empty pages full of words
Words devoid of meaning
Hollow, cored, happily emotion-free
Unraveling
Undone
Scribbles to pictures
Doodles to dreams
The book is full of filled up pages
Vapid thoughts in black and white
There is the whole of who I've become
The nonsensical ramblings
of an underworked mind

I can’t feel you anymore,
Winter’s begun,
I left open my door,
The frost is in layers around me,
I can’t feel you anymore,
No longer do I care to see, your face,
I can’t feel you anymore.

One day I'll be someone you can talk to,
I'll know what it's like,
know how to feel,
to express this emotion that bubbles in the pit of my gut,
Conditioned to feel nothing,
Nothing, nothing, nothing...
This armour is slowly being taken off, dissolving,
No longer strengthened by the acidity of self destruction,
What's left is closer to the bandages of the ancient Egyptian mummies,
My emotions, themselves drind out and mummified, begin to rehydrate

I was heartless.
I was cruel.
I was harsh to the person I love.

I could not feel nor see love.
It was all lost, all taken away from me.
I made my one true love shed tears.

I was locked in an emotionless world.
Everything I saw and heard meant nothing to me.
I was an empty soul.

I thought I would not...could not love again,
But I heard the words that freed my lost soul.
"Give back the girl I love"

A single tear rolled down my cheek.
As he started saying more, tears kept on pouring out.
I could not stop them.

Emotions started coming back to me.
I could feel sadness and guilt,
But most of all,
I could love once again.
Hello to all my readers ;) This is just a continuation of the first poem I wrote. Like a book, I guess you can call it a sequel.
I wonder if this made you guys feel anything...

I was left alone,
In this harsh world,
Feeling betrayed and unwanted.

I sat there,
Waiting for him to come back,
But as time passed,
My emotions were starting to be stripped away from me.

By the time he came back,
I was already emotionless.

The only thing I could feel was hurt.

I was hurt because he left,
But one thing that hurt most was not knowing what love felt like anymore.

The feelings you have when you love one person,
Or the love you receive from your one and only.

They were all lost in a split second.
This is something that I felt, or didn't feel during that period of time. I was devastated to know that I didn't know how to love for a short period of time. I just hope that it doesn't happen again.

I'm As Real As Your Thoughts, Do not Fear Me

*******'s hangover

Tangential emotion

Birthed in a string of complacency

Welcome, my Prince of the Edge of Shadows

Lifeless and tired,
my body raises from my seated position,
dragging my heavy feet with gentle footsteps into the washroom.
The cupboard is clear.
Free of any medication that will numb the pain for an hour or two.
But it's only an hour or two.
For an hour or two I'd be emotionless.
For an hour or two, I'd be sitting in my room, staring at the wall,
unable to write or even to think.
But after that hour or two,
the pain would be back.
It would rush into my body faster than I could ever rush my body in front of a car
It wouldn't bother to creep up on my innocent soul, readying itself to pounce.
It would just speed into me, slamming its breaks after I've been hit, only to make sure that I've been affected, before continuing its journey through my body.
My body that's been drained from all emotion would suddenly **** alive, feeling the burning venom of the pain searing through my veins.
What happened to the blood pumping through me, keeping me alive?
Oh right, it's gone, because so am I.
My writing has gotten so messy, goodness me, I apologise.
