Toxic Numbness

Infected, I'm falling in empty bliss.

My heart filled with toxic numbness.

"Selfish," my sin burns inside, eating away.

Pain laughes at me, "I have a game called torture, wanna play?"

~

But I cry here with empty hands.

Scars covered by the warmth of bands.

How do I tell them? I'm scared to plead.

Help is a hope, that I really need.

~

They believe my empty smile, and the fake joy.

Thinking life is something I enjoy.

But how do I say this is all wrong.

My heart is shattered, and has been for so long.

~

There is a blank feeling, I've known for a year.

My crying eyes keep me from seeing things clear.

I'm breaking in two, but you still don't see.

Watch my eyes, not my smile, and hear my silent, broken, plea.

 

 

Author's Note

STOP BELIEVING ME WHEN I SAY: "I'm fine."

Reviews

All human being treasure a lot of hidden feelings, within themselves. As you bring it out with your poignant lovely words, here I can only applaud to you. For the strenght that makes the ink flows. Life can be so mean, in all kind of ways, you don't want to be a complainer, and you don't want to be ignored... lovely poetry.
