Numb
Darkness comes and goes
Like the tide that ebbs and flows
Yet no one can see my pain
As I walk alone in the rain
I see you in my mind's eye
Hoping you will remember me when I die
Sometimes it's so hard to take
I can't help but being fake
My head hurts from thinking too much
Of life and death and all the such
I reach out and you're not there
Grasping at nothing but air
I am drowning in my own bile
Loving you all the while
No longer will I take this
Too tired and hopeless
All too often I come to this place
I can't even look at my own face
I hate myself for feeling this way
Night after night, day after day
Wanting to end all of the mind-numbing pain
But I cannot, for there is no gain
The darkness always seem to come in
Clouding my judgment again and again
