numbness comes in waves
my hand feels naked
the groove is still there
the skin is soft - it soaks up tears
just more proof that life isn't fair.
it all seems useless.
the smiles, hellos,
the "good, how about you?"
the need to be with someone
but to still be alone.
even ben & jerry didn't change the mood.
i feel sick but i'm not hopeless.
how do you try so hard yet fail?
music haunts me because
you still sing along.
the rumors and bad people hit
like a horrid gale
just let me know if you need to talk
or yell
or cry
the last thing i want to do
is live the happy lie
but i have no desire to make you
or break you
or hate you
i am not going to hurt you
because as difficult as it is
to be true to my word, i know
that we each need to breathe
gather our thoughts
and muster the courage
to leave.
