Numb

Confusion, panic, uncertainty

All flash

The sudden impact leaves me numb

A heaviness fills me, weighing down like lead

Loneliness consumes everything, crushing all that oppose it

There is no drive, no motivation, nothing

The weight is too much

All that musters to the surface brings tears

But no cries can escape

Flowing, silently, numbly

Movement hindered, time stands still

The only feeling is a throbbing ache of loneliness

A cavernous void of longing

I feel nothing as the tears come

Unbidden by sorrow or the pain
