Numbness

Hours blur by
Days drag on
and suddenly I've been single for weeks.
Nothing's changed.

The pain is just as fresh as before.
The loneliness causes more ache.

The tears fall fluidly
each night and day,
but I remember
how to fake a smile.

My life is an out of body experience.

I find myself growing tired
of the endless crying;
It doesn't help the darkness escape.
It doesn't bring him back.

So slowly the numbness creeps in
Not easing the anguish
but buffering it from the world;
Making it easier to go through the motions of life.

Making the time race by every so quickly.

What's the point?
He left
and took my life, passion, and happiness with him.

But in the moments he slips
and shows he still cares
I find hope.
Hope that we will soon be together again.

And so I subject myself to yet another day of this mindless agony
