Numb

You were gone so very long

The pain I felt turned into song

I wrote about our history

My love for you no mystery

As time went by I only waited

For your release, anticipated

I would have given anything

For safety that your arms would bring

Then I felt it dissipate

A month to go, was it too late?

Finally you returned home

By then I liked to be alone

You tried for that long waited kiss

I turned my head, it was a miss

I couldn't feel the victory

There was something dead in me

My heart no longer beat for you

It started singing it's own tune

Time had come and done it's thing

The pain that losing you would bring

You touched me but I didn't feel

The hurt inside started to heal

My defenses were in place

I was numb and couldn't taste

Nothing you could say or do

Convinced me that I needed you

Over me, you held no power

It had weakened by the hour

I tried to spark up the old flame

But only ashes there remained

You no longer held my heart

From there we slowly fell apart.
