NUMBNESS

Feeling disconnected
My heart needs a jump start
Feeling disconnected
My spirit needs a lift

Falling prey to numbness
Suspended in an
Emotionless abyss.

Longing to feel something
Needing to feel anything
Wondering if...
I am lost to everything.

I see life all around me
I try to grab hold
But moments slip from my grasp.

I see life on each side of me
I turn this way and that way
But moments slip by too fast

I slump in defeat
Into a deep sleep
Inside myself
Where things move slow enough
For me to catch them
