numbness:

theres an emptiness in my bones,
a hollow i cant define,
its not sadness, not despair,
just a void thats now mine.

i used to feel the weight of tears,
now they never seem to fall,
what once was pain has faded,
into nothingness, thats all.

i dont know where it started,
or how i came to this place,
but the echoes of emotions
have left without a trace.

im not sad, im not hurting,
im just floating in between,
a ghost within my own life,
where nothings what it seems.

i reach for something to hold,
for a feeling, a spark, a sign,
but all i grasp is emptiness,
and a longing to resign.

i dont know why im this way,
why im lost in this abyss,
but the thought of fading out
feels like a silent, final bliss.

i wonder if the void would care,
if i simply ceased to be,
would the numbness even notice
if i finally set it free?

theres an emptiness in my bones,
where once there was a fire,
now all thats left is silence,
and a quiet, fading desire.
