Numb
Let me be numb
Totally and utterly
I have grown tired of
This guest called misery
I know not the cause
Of this dreadful sorrow
The same I’ve said for joy
This I know
Those words I spoke
I take them back
It is easy to disparage pain
When it is what you lack
I long to bottle this heartache
And toss it into the sea
And if I cannot know the joy
That once smiled upon me
Then let me be numb
Totally and utterly
