Numb

There is nothing I am hoping for. 

There is not even anything I am waiting for. 

I no longer care about who I can trust. 

I suppose I must trust the first person who emerges from the fog. 

Even if they have been following me for the wrong reasons-

I would rather have a stranger by my side. 

I suppose I am numb to the pleas of my own family. 

Who now live just outside my memory.
