If there's something else to salvage
other than those
savage feelings
that two people create
speak up
before our voices get too raw
and all that time spent together
becomes nothing at all.
Ammar Ali Sep 2020
Winter and winter, for I have never felt
Longs night, for I have dwelt and dwelt
And has breeze touched and flown by;
And the cheeks have cried for my and my
Do the skin feel, when I ***** and fry
And the moisture felt I have, was dry

True things for my ears heard, for my fate
For lies have spoken my lips, love yet hate
And underneath the flesh, knives crawl
For the pain is not felt, what for I brawl
Death wasn't it was, for I could speak
Mute are deceased, false is my beak

For my fate, it is not death yet worse
Mourn I do is summer and some remorse
Cause winds float for not me rather I know not
Never has the skin felt cold and something hot
For unknown I seem by this strange blow
Numb for I am, unknown or do I know?
Numbness in my chest
Resisted by my heartbeat
Along with music
Hits against fragility
Shielded by the walls of fear.

I want to be out with my woes from the get-go
Mental foes bring back past memories
Sentimental tows that make it hard to let go of these jeopardies
Rental on feelings, conscious numb alike to leprosy
Spirit claims heresy, conscious won't succumb to its beliefs
I'm in disbelief & empty, like a sword unloyal to its sheath
My joy is brief, not plenty as there's sorrow beneath
I beseech I see tomorrow

I’ve been numb for days now

I started picking at old memories just to feel something

Kicking mental rocks over

To see if remnants of you would crawl out

I’ve been dropping poison in my tea

Just to help me stay asleep at night

But no elixir is a fixer

And each morning I roll over into your absence

Time heals all wounds they tell me

But really time wounds all lovers

"I cannot
carry your burdens with me
not even in the slightest

I am empty, I am numb, I do not understand
you in
death
pain
and love."
I wrote this super long poem in a storm of emotions some time ago and I just like how the end lines sounded so I decided to post it.

I wish you did.
The line will be drawn
and I'll let go
I feel it all
But nothing.
at this point
In time
I want more
Nothingness.
I've never
craved numbness.
But I get it now.
It's peaceful
Less chaotic,
but underwhelming.

I dont miss you
I dont miss your face
Your laugh
Your hair

I just miss the touch
Someone by my side
To laugh with
To hug

Does everyone feel this way?
Living day by day,
unable to escape?

I used to be sad
Now im just numb
I miss when i would cry
The sadness would fill me to my brim

But at least then I wasnt empty.

I used you
I used you so long that I broke you
I tried to forget about the pain in my chest
I tried to numb myself by chasing your love that was never meant for me
I know you might not forgive me
But-
I'm sorry.
I truly never thought about it this way until I healed myself.
