Mourning Skies

The Numbness

Tears spill over my cheeks as I learn the truth.

I've planted the seed of pain in my soul.

And I can't dig it out.

I've nurtured it with my sorrow and longing for your love

And I've given it life with my blood.

There's not a thing you can do that can fix the wrong.

I'll be gone before long.

I will cease to be a burden on your mind

And I'll be no more than a distant memory.

I promise,

I won't hurt you anymore, my love.

I can feel my heartbeat fading out...

As I breathe my last breath

Death has taken me and I've stopped feeling the pain.

I've become so numb I will no longer feel the sting of the blade

Or the pain of my hunger

Or the aching in my heart

Don't mourn, because this is peaceful and serene.

I promise, I don't feel anymore.
