somedays
i can't feel anything.
and the harder i push to feel
the more numb i become.
it's like waking up in a box
with no desire to find your way out.
life can continue spinning without me
i can continue keeping still
without you.
it's like that.
and then there are somedays
that are a slap to the face.
i can feel the sting, the burn.
everything around me rubs against
me
the right way, the wrong way
your way, that way
and i feel it all. i feel everything but
it's still like waking up in a box
with no desire to find your way out.
life continues to spin without me
and i continue to keep still
without you.
