Walking through allies, where your darkness greets my skin
Walking down a side walk, where you make no one notices me
Gliding my hand across the wire fence, where you block out the pain of it cutting my palm
Watching the rope hit the concrete ground, where you block the image of the youth jumping it
Why do I have this smile, the one you force me to wear
I am such a liar, I am not what you make me out to be
I can’t feel you there, no not anymore
I can hear my heart beat, you can too
But I can’t feel it though
I would always say
Just because you have a heart, doesn’t mean that you can feel love or loved
Your heart can’t determine emotions, so was is the heart a symbol of love
Is it a trick, a lie, of just a mistake that the others follow
I don’t feel mad
Nor happy nor sad
I can’t feel, period
Why you ask
Because numb is a feeling, of nothing to be felt
