Numb

The overwhelming sadness takes over.
The words of death consume the mind.
Memories fly in front of my eyes.
All in the past is where we reside.

Harder I sob for you, screaming in agony.
Guilt and anger keep the sadness company.
My face is drenched in salty tears.
I begin to rock, as I think back over the years.

My voice is gone now, words unspoken.
My head is throbbing with every beat of my heart.
Soon I feel what I truly seek, the numbness seeping in.
Into my heart, mind, and soul, where I remain alone.
