Poetry: Numb

Fallen...

You said you wouldn't let me fall
if I was near the edge
I trusted you to pull me back
if I slipped off that ledge

I'm spinning now and scared
I cannot see you anywhere
I think I hit the ground
but I can't feel if you are there

It wasn't meant to end
we were supposed to be forever
but as I try to find you
all around I'm hearing "never"

Are you still here or have you gone?
Is this what we've become?
A ghost and an emotional wreck
who's now completely numb?

    the things that I will never forget.
    Every day I build another wall,
    but the past isn't buried

    The day my chin

    sliced open on the ice;

    that day, i yearned to be numb.

    My head was pounding,

    my chin stinging

    Have we made our children numb?
    Anesthetized,
    d eadened.
    Have they lost their sensitivity,
    by watching such images again and again.
