you know what hurts?
numb.
I know what you're thinking
"must be better than sinking"
numb is painless
nothing but brainless
you can't feel the hurt
you can't feel the pain
there's nothing left inside your brain
all you have is numb.

numb to the happy
numb to the joy
your existence feels like nothing less than a ploy
you have no emotion you don't feel a thing
not a smile not a laugh not a single sting

you really don't want to be feeling,
as much as this may sound appealing,
when all you have left is the emptiness in your chest
alone and numb
you still can't rest
