Numb

I used to cry when you'd walk away,
Now I just watch and feel okay.
Not because it doesn’t hurt,
But because I burned right through the worst.

Tears ran dry, and so did fire,
Now I don’t reach, I don’t desire…

I’m numb — not cold, just gone,
Like a song that’s lost its dawn.
Not broken, just too still to scream,
Like fading out inside a dream.
I’m numb — not fine, not mad,
Just too tired to feel the bad.
Love was loud, now it’s just dumb…
Now I’m not hurting —
I’m numb.

I used to beg for one more word,
Now silence feels like I preferred.
I gave you all I had to give,
But some hearts just forget to live.

There’s no fight, no spark, no flame,
Just empty echoes of your name…

I’m numb — not lost, not free,
Just floating where I used to be.
No more crashing, no more cries,
Just blank stares behind the eyes.
I’m numb — not healed, not whole,
Just noise inside a quiet soul.
You left, but I won’t succumb…
You didn’t break me —
I’m numb.

They say feeling means you’re alive,
But sometimes you forget to survive.
When pain becomes your only sound…
One day, it just shuts down.

I’m numb — and maybe that’s peace,
When the war inside has finally ceased.
Not a win, not a loss, just none…
I don’t feel fire —
I’m numb.
