Poetry: Comfortably numb

by Jane Myers

Created on: May 21, 2010

Comfortably Numb

Clobbered by your clutter I have tired myself out.

Wishing less was more and more was less.

I regress into myself until I have reached a place,

Of quiet numbness within my heart and soul as I plea.

Accepting all and rejecting none, I begin to have fun.

Now finding solace in space and time and without reason,

I cry out a warrior's yell at the top of my lungs ~ screaming.

I was just dreaming and now I am quite comfortable awakening.

Never matter that the birds have ceased to sing their song.

Cradled within your arms I find a safe place to shed my tears.

I hold your hand and you hold mine and there we find,

That together we are comfortably numb and we weep,

For lovers lost and dreams gone by to never be again,

We find our solace in the numbness of tears all cried out.

And we finally sleep in a quiet peace ~ still comfortably numb.
