numb

[the_katsmeow]

i take these steps
trying not to fall
i curl up in your arms
like a dependent child
and you sing me a song
my heart becomes numb

i should not speak
i should not hear
i should not try to be
so open to this pain
and still it was you
who brought out my tears

in some other world, i am walking another path
and on my way, i pass by these same trees
taking in the same air that we now breathe
yet that boy never looked into your eyes

and in that same existance, i stood strong
i walked that path and sang my song
about the person who i wanted to be
experiencing the ups and downs of misery

i touch your face
you made me bleed
and within this box
i place everything
i contemplate
these swollen thoughts

and if this sun
still shone on me
away from here
hidden too deep
i would not erase
your tender face

some things are meant to the naive
i chose this path. i knew the wrongs
and rights and felt the strain
of my heart when i finally gave in

there are no regrets with my words
only the softest touch to remove the pain
