Just poems about depression, if you like that kind of stuff, I guess, it won't exactly be so updated as normal authors, so be discreet.

16. Numb

For a moment, the heartbreak was unknown.

For just a moment, I forgot about you.

For just a moment, my life was non-existent.

I was just there.

for just a moment,
i felt no pain waking from
my temporary death.

for just a moment, i forgot about everyone.

for just a moment, there was anesthesia.

i was brain dead.

for just a moment,
all the emotions,
wiped from my memory,
had gone away.

but slowly coming back into reality, memories pour back in,
emotions left away to rot for the day.

i'm numb,
just a walking body with
a heartbeat is all i am.

too careless for judgments,
too careless to care.

too careless to care about what could've, would've, should've happened.

nothing matters anymore,
i just walk through life.

i'm living, but i'm not alive.
