endless cycle:

im starting to tune out again,
the numbness, once my friend,
is slipping through my fingers,
as the pain begins to bend.

the quiet void i clung to,
is cracking at the seams,
and all the hurt is flooding back,
drowning out my dreams.

the anger starts to simmer,
a fire beneath my skin,
i thought id found a way out,
but the darkness pulls me in.

i dont know how to stop it,
this spiral im caught within,
the pain is always lurking,
like a shadow in the wind.

i try to run, to distance,
from the ache that haunts my soul,
but no matter where im hiding,
it finds me, takes its toll.

i never catch a break from it,
this cycle never ends,
its like a cruel reminder,
that broken hearts don’t mend.

the numbness was a refuge,
a place where i could breathe,
but now the walls are crumbling,
and the hurt wont let me leave.

im tired of this constant battle,
of the tears that never dry,
but the pain is always waiting,
no matter how i try.

so here i am, caught once more,
in this endless, vicious tide,
tuning out and fading back,
with nowhere left to hide.
