Feeling Numb

A coldness

creeping inside

frozing my limbs,

frozing my mind.

An emptiness

in place of my heart,

something is missing

nothing is right.

My world is greying

the colors are fleeing

laughter eludes me

I'm not really seeing.

They're talking,

can't hear any words

just sounds, no meaning

do i have to respond?

I'm living

or at least I pretend

was it always like this?

Is it ever going to end?
