Stoned

Could not believe that I 
Would find out on my own
And how I would feel so frozen
Like I am trapped inside a stone

When there isn’t any difference
Between all of them and you
And one thing I have noticed
The many are now the few

Locked inside a prism
And no light is shining through
Keeps me here wondering
About things I never knew

I just get to impatient
And want to be left alone
Far away from your cold heart
That is as frozen as a stone

You can no longer damage
Something as broken as me 
As I watch your shallow image
that now sinks lower than the sea

It can be so difficult to say
Just exactly what you mean 
I would have sat and listened 
If you could have kept it clean

It is not the only time 
I have lost everything I owned
And it just does not bother me 
Because today I got so stoned

Reflecting lots of hurt. . . So much it is hard to feel and so much feeling you need something to make it go away. Nice work here!
