Numb

Look what you've done to me...

Numb

A Poem by Colton Warr

 

I can feel it, you see.

I can feel everything.

I feel you even though you are lost. Even though you aren’t here.

I can feel our memories.

I can feel our love.

I can feel every time we kissed.

I can feel every time we touched.

I can feel everything.

I can feel your hatred and my deception.

I can feel our fights.

I can feel our separation.

I can feel our darkness and I can feel our light.

I can feel our stormy days and I can feel our sunlight.

I can feel when you left, a cloud of mystery.

I can feel when you promised, broken, bringing misery.

I can feel the heartbreak.

I can feel the cold.

I can feel the dream, so carelessly sold.

I can feel your laughter.

I can feel your smile.

I can feel your warmth, please stay awhile.

I can feel your distance, so far away from me.

I can feel it, you see.

But I can’t feel your face in the morning, 

The first thing I used to see.

Wow, romantic but full of heartache. I really like the concept of your narrator stating he can feel the love from the woman, but yet he can't feel her pretty face, because she isn't there anymore. That's an interesting concept.

Thank you very much, my friend! I appreciate you stopping by and saying this. I wrote this following a devastating break up. Three and a half years were thrown away, but I still was in love with her even though she broke my heart. Love is a curious thing. Thanks for reading!

This is a simply styled poem, which has very strong emotions. It takes the reader on a roller coaster of emotions. I love this poem and all the power it has. one of the best I've seen.

I would break the last line into two so that it would read:
But I can't feel your face im the morning,
The first thing that I used to see.

Thank you very much, I truly appreciate you stopping by and saying that! I wrote it during a pretty up and down part of my life. Too much up and down can make you numb. I appreciate the advice, as you can see now, I did indeed take heed to it. Thanks again!

You are very welcome.

I absolutely love this, it presents so much raw emotion. This is without a doubt one of the best poems I've read so far. Thank you!

Thank you very much! I wrote it after me and a girl I dated for 4 years broke up. It took me awhile to get over her, but writing helped a lot. And that's what I love about writing, it allows you to convey emotion, almost as a type of release. Thanks again for commenting.
