Numb

Partially inspired by Anna Nalick's "Bleed."

I know that it's over.

I feel nothing.

I don't miss you.

I don't love you.

I don't want you.

And yet...

I miss who you used to be.

I loved you once upon a time.

I want you to be happy.

I can't believe I had those feelings.

You really weren’t worth the time.

The only thing that's come from "us"

Is pitiful poetry.

I hate that I've cried over you.

Those tears told me that we would never be.

If you were right you wouldn't make me cry.

I hate that I wasted years waiting.

I put my life on hold

And you never noticed.

What did I see?

Everything I wanted,

you weren't

But I'm not bitter.

Only saddened.

Maybe I broke your heart too,

I'll never ask.

Won't try to possess the courage.

I want no regrets.

And truly have none.

But I wish things had ended without pain.

I know it's over.

I feel nothing.
