Sensory Overload
What if woke up one day-
and you could not see or hear?
Would you find twisted relief?-
Or would your mind resort to fear?
If I could hear no sound-
I wouldn't hear you when you yell.
(But) I'd hear no genuinity--
when your heart begins to spill.
I'd hear no more excuses-
to justify the hurt you've caused me.
But I also wouldn't hear-
about the future that you've promised me.
If I could no longer touch-
I couldn't feel a blades Sharp edge.
I wouldn't feel your Kisses though-
when we tangle up in bed.
Nor would I feel my tears fall-
when my heart, again, should shatter.
But I wouldn't feel your heartbeat-
against my cheek when things got better.
I'm not sure what I'd do-
if my eyes did lose their sight.
But I know I wouldn't see-
your perfect smile light up the night.
I wouldn't see your sad or hurt-
I wouldn't see your Face at all.
I couldnt dive into your eyes-
or the tears I cause to fall.
If I could not taste-
our every kiss would feel so hollow.
I wouldn't taste the venom spoken-
nor the pills I have to swallow.
I do not know which sense I'd choose-
if made to pick just one.
I'm overwhelmed with all of them-
but without them, I'd be numb.
So tell me, which would you choose?-
What would make your choice be final?
Which would cause you lesser pain?-
But also, make that sense worth while?
