without feeling

A Poem by highonwords



without feeling,
i held your hands,
held you up, all together,
for everyone to see
without saying anything
a Saturday noon, alone,
on a clock's face, stuck
like being born in the streets
another raindrop day, 2016
beyond me, i could finally be seen,
i've been alone so long,
there is no mystery,
anymore, beneath the skin,
is just a warm body,
beneath the warmth,
is the cold, pooling in the sheets,
to one, final teardrop
of hello, saying goodbye
all along, it's just how i feel,
not feeling anything

hello and goodbye all at once...i can feel for a few seconds, but the heat doesn't last long because the foundation underneath is frozen...from pain..

I can really relate to this - feeling everything so intensely and overwhelmingly, yet still managing to feel nothing at all. Beautiful imagery and powerful words - really well done :)
