Numb

I know I'm hurting, but I can't cry

I know i'm listless, but I can't die

Eyes so tired, can't f*****g sleep

Trying to hold on, but there's nothing to keep

The flowers are dying in that vase over there

I forgot to water them, because there's no reason to care

I'll watch the petals fall, gather on the floor

Dimming the lights, shutting the door

But I just can't close it, though I just need to hide

I can't find the ocean even in high tide

And even though it's screaming, I can't find my mind

Maybe there's just nothing left to find

An intensely heartfelt poem. The simple rhyme scheme and flow add to the meaning of piece. Thank you.
