No Feeling

I tell myself I'm strong
And I taught myself not to feel
But why is it that I'm staying 
up so long
Thinking about things that no 
longer seem real? 

My heart is now a stone 
So I feel with my head.
Now I'm lying here alone 
With nothing but emptiness in 
this bed.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
