Empty
I feel numb inside
Detached from myself and everything around me
No amount of love or comfort
Could thaw this heart of mine.
I feel like a ghost
Existing in a world I don't want to live in
Going through the motions of life
But not really living.
I don't feel anything
I don't feel love, happiness, joy, excitement
I don't feel pain
I don't feel the sadness i'm so used to.
I'm watching as my life moves on without me
The world spinning in circles
But im no longer a part of it
I'm nothing more than a lost drifting soul.
Watching as my feet hit the pavement
Hearing the dull thud
But I can't feel it
I'm completely dead inside.
For so long ive wanted nothing more than to be rid of this pain
But without it I have nothing
It was the last thing I had left
And now it is gone.
I'm dragging a blade through my skin
trying desperately to feel something, anything.
Im curling up on the cold ground
A broken, empty thing.
