Love Poem: Numb-Shock!

Numb-Shock!

My head is pounding from within 

a beating drum under my skin 

and with each beat 

tears form puddles at my feet 

thoughts crashing down on my fragile brain 

and ripping apart its mangled frame 

distorted forever, it remains bent 

a remnant of the times that were spent 

seperating myself to put us together 

little did I know that I'd lose you forever 

so I sit here fists tightly clenched 

wondering what else from me will be wrenched 

expecting to lose everything I hold dear 

knowing I'll suffer from anxiety and fear 

And so my head will pound on 

like the beat of a drum 

until the pain is gone 

and body finally falls numb!
