NUMB

THE PRICE

It wants to take away my core.
But there's nothing left of me.

It wants to take away my dept.
But I lost that in the deep end.

I am still nothing but a blazing empty vessel. Ready to live an empty 'life'.

So I spread my arms wide for it to take whatever is left of me.

I am a burning fruitless forest no one and nothing can put out.

It asks me what I want and I say "Power".

It rips out my soul and turns my once red heart black.

"I want freedom" I say to it as it leaves me once again with the only light I see is the one on my once smooth dark skin.

I don't know if I have been given what I want.

But I do know I have sold my heart and soul to the earthly version of the devil. In return to never feel again.

Feelings are for the weak.

Emotions are for the poor.

Hope... Hope is dead.

And love.....pfft....it would be easier to find the big foot than that.

I do not need any of that.

I am powerful now!
