Numb

Do you feel it?
It hurts.
Can you hear it?
I'm calling your name.
Can you smell it?
The rotten aroma that hits my nose when you come around.
Why are you holding me down?
I'm gasping for air.
Why did you leave me?
You didn't stop to think about me! ABOUT US!
Why must I suffer?
Because you wanted to make stupid mistakes.
Do you feel it?
It hurts.


I know you feel, you resist my love time after time.
I know you hear me calling, I'm standing so close to you.
I know you smell it, the smell is sickening and so unbearable.
I know you can tell you're holding me down, I'm clinching to your hand struggling 
to come up.
I know you know why you left, now I know and the reason is ridiculous.
I know you suffered, do you feel as though I should too?
I know you feel ,

OH DAD, I know you feel.

I'm numb
