Numb

Numb

A Poem by Esther
"

9/21/16

"

Stars shine bright while ships sail south,
And all the clocks in the universe are ticking,
As two lovers fade into oblivion. 

A sense of doubt builds within,
Until there is no longer trust,
No longer any emotions at all.
Deprived of the sensation of feeling anything 
But a dull numbness--
Making it nearly impossible for words to come together.

There is nothing poetic about feeling this way--
Yet here I sit,
Struggling to fit the words together 
To better describe three simple words--
"I feel numb"

There is nothing poetic about feeling this way--
Yet here I sit,
Struggling to fit the words together
To better describe three simple words--
"I feel numb"

I know this feeling,
very well written and expressive piece here,
keep writing always

Thank you!!
(My poem to you:)

Chin up
Anew day shall arise
For you are numb and full of pain
But when the time comes
You shall be full of happiness and gain....

Stay safe, be blessed...
