Tears slowly fall from my cheeks,
To form a silent pool at my feet,
Which threatens to drown me,
The sadness overwhelms,
You ask if I’m alright,
As if my eyes weren’t neon signs screaming the answer,
You tell me too cheer up, everything’s fine,
But it’s nor fine
But in your sheltered ways,
Nothing has ever been wrong for more than a few days,
The deep sadness has never been known,
You’ve never fostered the darkness until it has grown,
You’ve never been lost in the doorless maze,
You’ve never fallen alone in the dark,
You tell me I look blue, and sad,
But still there’s no way you’ll ever understand,
I’ve stopped crying now,
But not because I’ve run out of tears,
Or because you held me,
Or said comforting words,
It’s very simple really,
....I have just become emotionally numb
