An old one. Long since proven wrong.
Numb
I have become numb inside
Nothing left in my heart but a pulse
Just a machine
Void of emotion
Unwilling to connect
A black hole
Wrought by false love
And unfulfilled hopes
There are flickers now and then
A small hint of light
But it is never enough
Not to revive me from this hollow existence
Numb to all others
Distrusting of any emotion
Distant from any that could save me
Just a shell of what I use to be
A black
Battered heart
Shattered and glued together
One too many times
Left unrecognizable
Mistreated by its keeper
Left a disfigured mess
Too cautious and uncaring to ever be fixed
