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.
