The Inevitable - Poetry Book

Numb

Seconds to minutes, hours to days, I could feel myself just slipping away.
The tick of the clock, and the beat of the drum, I swear all feelings went astray.
Come out of the darkness and see the light and see the ray of sunshine that should be my life.
I'm on the outside begging to get in, forced to see what I should feel, but feeling nothing instead.
My mind vacant from all thought, but a trickling memory I thought I fought.

Days to weeks, months to years, time vanishes when you have your fears.
They stay through, day and night, waiting for the perfect time to strike.
You can run, you can hide, but these demons, yes, they live inside.

In your sleep, you may think you find peace, and trust you are at ease.
But its when the sun sets that our demons come out to tease.
They pick and poke you, trying to startle you.
And you let them because you have nothing left to lose.

Years to months, weeks to days, our lives just keep slipping away.
Days to hours, minutes to seconds, I swear I just ... I need a second,
To try to feel the blood running through my veins, to try to remember when I once could feel pain.

There was a numbness that attacked me at the start, stabbing me straight in the heart,
I watched myself scream and cry and it grew like wildfire, burning me as it spread
There was nothing left to do, so I thought of giving up instead.
These demons come and go as they please, and they all attack me with ease.

And here I am left to wonder,
Oh how easy life would be
If I could just walk away from me
