Numb
Blinds are shut tight
 Keeping the light out
 Making the room a living tomb
 
 Sitting in bed 
 Blankets surrounding my cold body
 Not providing any warmth 
 
 Red rimmed eyes staring at the picture on the wall
 Hard to believe that I was ever that happy 
 
 Maybe it was because you were in my life
 I don’t remember ever being as happy when you weren’t there
 
 But now that you’re gone I wish I was too
 Why couldn’t you have taken me with you? 
 
 The note said you loved me 
 That I was yours forever
 But if you really cared then why are you eternaly gone? 
 
 I’m so alone its hard to describe 
 I’ve cried more tears than a nation of poverty
 And more numb than any anesthetic can provide 
 
 I looked through the photo album uncountable times
 You were in nearly all the snap-shots
 I can’t believe that I couldn’t see your pain
 You hid it so well, no one could have known
