Numb

The fleeting dream within
 has come to a bitter finality today
All i ever aspired and hoped for 
are now just false  memories fading away.
Blind trust i put in a one-sided love, 
one without any compromise.
I gave all the tenderness within my fragile heart
 and it died before my eyes.
Its hard to deal with the lonliness
 i feel so hollow deep inside.
Now ive distanced my self from all advances
 for i truly just want to hide
Somedays the depression is such a crushing weight 
i just want to end it all
But i just cower in the disgust of myself
and stay hidden within these walls.
So people can judge me however they wish,
 and add to the unseen scars i bear
But ive grown callous to their evil insults
Now i just no longer care.
