Numb is but a feeling,
One my heart holds on,
Like an empty world that's wheeling,
Seeming to fall like a newborn fawn,

Is there nothing to set me free,
Nothing to save me now,
This hollowness consumes me,
Yet I cannot understand how,

I'm breathing in-yet drowning,
I'm screaming out-yet silent,
My leaves once green-now browning,
My once calm mind-now violent,

I'm a flower delicate and broken,
Numbed by something deep,
I will not blossom when spoken,
Instead I slowly weep
