To Feel Your Love Again

Death takes the
insecurities out of
the living
They say things get
better
If you stop fighting
the anger goes away
The tears simply dry
up
A sheet of ice
freezes over the
emotions
Leaving you numb
But broken
Storm clouds hover
amongst the stars
Waiting to creep
back in

Time moves slowly 
But still it moves
The further I get
from you
The more it wounds
Life cruelly goes on
Birds still wake
This earth still
cries
The heavens shake

This world is cruel
This life restricts
Taking me further
from
With every waking
breath
I would stop the
living to have you
back
Give my life for one
more kiss

There is a beauty to
the restless
We wander amongst
the alive
But everyday I find
Your further away
with time

I do not want to
forget you
I don't wish for
this numbness
Or this heavy ice I
carry
Oh if I could just
change this
If I could still
feel
Rid me of this
numbness
As emotions make you
real
The distant dream
you are becoming
Would never exist
Surely it is better
to feel
Than be as this

Very good poem. You captured how it feels to have an unshakable numbness all too well my friend.

btw, I want to post a poem inspired by yours and name your title as the inspiration for it in a contest by Catie. I think it is called "The heart of it" Hope that is ok by you.
