I guess that's the only way to describe it. That feeling you get when you think you're finally fine. When everything is finally starting to work out again, the pieces, are pulling together. And then it all hits you again. That bad luck following you around since forever. The countless experiences and remarks. The feeling hits you like a tidal wave, crashing over you and all you hear is a faint sound. The light crashing of the waves, see the blur above you. Then you are left as the feeling sinks in. NUMB.

Tainted From a Broken Heart - Poems
When one has their heart broken one too many times, then they become prone to letting go the next person they fall for a little easier. Possibly they no longer feel or maybe they fear from it happening again. Emotionally numb or snake bitten, their hearts no longer beat like they used to. They become tainted. Shout out to @Heavenlygirl1990 for the drawings that are a complete representation of the feelings I am trying to share. Thanks
