Numb

I used to feel

As deeply as the ocean

Into the abyss

I wandered, directionless

Overwhelmed

A cup filled to the brim

There was no avoiding spilling

Flame dancing in kerosene

One minute beautiful

The next destructive

Now, try as I may

I couldn't scratch the surface

I had been locked out

My heart beyond my reach

Like toys kept away from a careless child

After being broken one too many times

Maybe I should revel in this unfeelingness

As close to non existence that I may achieve

Happiness slips through my fingers

But so does worry and regrets

However, deep within this void

Part of my mind whisper caution

Beware when the floodgates open
