Paralysis

Paralysed by unfamiliar feelings, 
Wrapped in a cloak of grief 
The rigour mortis of emotion
Of Feeling
Numbing 
Strapping and harnessing 
Fencing in the soul 
No way out 
No one allowed in 
Cannot see no more 
Cannot cry no more 
Nothing matters any more 
World known is gone 
Too low to find peace
Too blind to see
Rigour mortis of the soul 
Is the saddest thing to feel
The greatest loss of all
Is not death
But what dies in us
When we live
