Soul Crushing Numbness

Horror things aren't scary anymore
Neither deformed faces nor the creepy lore

Doesn't startle me the way they used to
Doesn't make the stomach beg for a loo

I guess this is what numbness feels like
the ghost inside and out seems alike

The inner demons carry more suspense
When they come and give a nasty glance

Their babble makes impeccable sense
Does fake eerie music stand a chance?

The rapid breathing, the pale face
No longer have any grace

Darkness looks so captivating
It always manages to keep me waiting 

Every day I wait for intense nightmares
Desperate to feel emotions, all its layers

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to PS. May I welcome you likewise with the love of the Lord that can save, sustain, and nourish the soul. According to the Bible's John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
