Sometimes I'm numb inside,
A numbness that hurts,
A pain that is not there,
A pain so deep I care,
Numbness that hurts.
***
Sometimes I'm not myself,
With a mind so silent,
A silence so loud,
A silence that cuts,
Silence that hurts my ears.
***
If I could go back to then,
My mind before that day,
To a time when I was myself,
And there was no pain,
Would I do it all over again.
***
Life only flows one way,
The past gets further away,
With it the memories fade,
And the future gets closer,
Day by day by day.
