Numb Poem by Allysyn Bryant

Losing blood, I’m numb
Hearing something sounding like drums
My heart is lying on the floor
I’m wishing for something more

I stood out in the rain
Wishing to wash away the pain
Let it fall along my face
Wondering when I’ll finally get outta this place

You hurt me
I hurt you
Never ending
Passion of the blues

I’m numb
Can hardly breathe
Tears fall down my cheek
With the silent screams
I seem to have lost my voice
No longer can I even sing

Sitting by the window
Watching the sun down
The dog’s barking
Kids are settling down
And I sit here numb
From head to toe
And mind too
I don’t know what to you

Maybe I’m just not right for you.
