"Sometimes I wonder if you could ever know,
about my feelings—emotions that I can’t feel anymore."
"I wonder if you could ever understand,
the words of my poetry—But then again,
poetry isn't about words—It's about all the emotions,
a writer feels—Meanwhile, I'm not even sure if there's any emotion left in me—After you."
— Beloved
Lying on the ground
I want to talk or just scream;
you like me emotionless;
Silence creeps inside;
For a time the buzz eases,
then festers into landmines.
Tight-lipped, transparent, and stuck in a mono-TV
Am I alive or dead? I don't feel pleasure nor pain
Numbness is all I can sense under the pretense
"This is for my sake"
Square-shaped deceptions bind me
A soothing night-sky dimmed the spark in my eye
I call out for help, nothing,
I call again and again and again, but it's always silent in return,
So alone, in the company of you it increases,
Along with that gift you bestow upon me you give hurt,
Anxiety spiking with each passing moment,
The only peace I'm allowed is in their smiles and laughter,
But nothing lasts anymore,
What a wonderful world we live in,
People continue to pass you by as you lye bleeding, shaking, crying and choking on your own existence,
Will god grant me a savior, or will he too watch emotionless
Something draws me
To the darkness
Do you feel it?
The truth
The realness
Reveal yourself
In this
Moonlight
Let go
Let everything go
No need to
Bury your
Emotions
Down
Down
Down
To only wear an
Expressionless
Mask
I wake up
With
Droplets of tears
in my palm
With unknown reason
The grey mist
Surrounds me
The shivery drops
Of dew
Roll on my skin
With the
Blood orange sun
Burning through
Make my descent
To the Underworld
Hold me captive
I'm all yours
The dark cast
Its shadows
Over the horizon
With the light
To meet it
Something draws me
To the light
Do you feel it?
No emotion run through the veins of the heartless person.
Yes, it's a contradiction! No man walk this Earth without a heart, but yet one goes through the motions of a ZOMBIE!
NO TEARS, **** THE FEARS; WHAT IS THERE TO BE SCARED OF?
ONE HAS BEEN EVERYWHERE, SEEN EVERYTHING, IS DOWN FOR ANYTHING, EVEN FOR NOTHING!
Crazy motto some say, but if LIFE is TRUELY filled with STRUGGLES; why not have some fun tackling 'em?
One smile to hide all the HURT and Pain. Once one look BLANK, questions form in others' brains, wondering what's goin' on in one's HEAD!!
DAMN, can't one be EMOTIONLESS?
Can Things ever last,
When they happen so fast.
do these tears and pain ever fade,
Is Drama yet another day,
That I must play to waste the day away,
and ignore the pain,
that never seems to fade.
I know that game,
I played it so many times,
Emotionless is what i shall be,
for all times and eternity.
Galeea's training proved right,
All little boys play the game of deception,
But they do not realize that some girls see it before them,
Some girls grow up to be woman and are looking for guys,
Who want to be man enough to take any
Drama and pitiful lies that other little girls spread around to see,
if they can steal that one great guy in their life.
Pity is what it is called when a Man falls into that pit of vipers,
Why can i not be like those vipers?
because I am too smart and not so vain as the
others girls i see around me.
Because i am me and i just want to be me
and that is what i would like to see,
For that is reality.
Feelings?
What feelings?
I don't know what I feel anymore,
my emotions are not here.
My mind draws a blank,
as I try to smile.
My eyelids are heavy,
I want to lay and rest.
Lock myself in a pitch black room,
with my music playing softly.
I have no emotions,
I feel no such pain.
No sorrow,
No anger,
only an emotionless void.
What is this madness,
that blanks out my mind?
My body's numb,
My eyes are blurry,
My hands are cold,
My limbs shake.
My heart has lost it's joy,
drained of all emotion.
Red fades to black,
muscle turns to stone.
I close myself off,
alone in the world.
No one should see,
and emotionless me.
Pain. Sadness. Happiness. Excitment. Shock. Hate. Love.
Emotionless from being broken down all these years.
I Smile to show everyone that I'm ok.
I pretend to be happy... but the truth is, I don't know what I feel.
I don't feel anything.
You look at me, I look at you.
You love me, but I don't know what love is.
People have told me that they loved me all their life.
But does love mean you abandon and forget about me.
Love him!
Hold him!
My heart screams for attention.
But my mind, it won't hear what my heart is pleading for.
All it hears is NO!!
Don't get hurt!
Do NOT let someone get close to you!
And that is all that I hear.
I am the follower of the mind, I refuse to let someone near my heart.
My mind always conquers at chasing people away.
In the end, I am alone.
And safe.
His parents,
killed.
the whole town
grieved,
but
the whole time
he,
kept his face dry.

EMOTIONLESS
By morning wake
When the light in my face
I'm reminded of your disgrace!
How can I do this to myself?
How do I wish Calgon would take me away?
Will I ever wake like the melody of the Blue Jay?
What am I suppose to do?
Shut myself down from this misery?
Emotionless, because I am too weak to be strong
It's my fault for inviting
-he that dropped my heart from cloud nine
Well, I have nothing else to say.
Except, "life has no meaning, and here I am GONE!"
Emotionless
SKAT
I want to be one less
You call emotionless
For this heart of mine is like a seed
Waiting on a drop of water to be fertilized.
I want to be one less
You call emotionless
For my quest from east to west has been fearless.
Fearless, but maybe somewhat detached to emotions
Detached only because,
My eyes have seen the unseen and shed its share of tears.
My ears have heard the unthinkable and wished they weren’t ears.
My body, mind, and soul have ached in ways it can no longer bear.
I have endured pain, anger, betrayals, lost, and have seen glimpses of happiness here and
there.
Too many emotions in one, and I have become undemonstrative.
But somehow despite this broken heart of mine,
I’ve made it this far through this journey call life and all I ask of you is to
Love me just the way I am
And you will see that I am far from being emotionless
When you look at me
I bet you don't see
My pain, hate and loss
Because I keep it in a vase.
Hidden away from the world
I know that it is unheard of
But it works for me.
I wish I was who I wanted to be,
But all people do is hate,
Once in a while
I wish I could smile,
Maybe sadness is my fate.
Now I'll bet you'll never guess
Why people call me emotionless.
I'm like an angel in flight
an angel drifting through the night
Emotionless intelligence
emotions overwhelming me
with something I cannot see
I try so hard to be
away from you and free to be me
it never goes that way
I see it happen day by day
I hate the way it all turns bad
thinking of the times i had
they are gone they wont come back
my life a wreck a train off tracks
I turn to you to comfort me
to see the things I cannot see
you have nothing to say
but still I wait another day
maybe things will soon change
an iron grip on false found faith
so turn your back on me
tell me everything ill be
it hurts no more to see you cry
even if I’m the reason why
so let the tears flow and fall
this time I will not crawl
back into your arms
back into the impending harm
so turn your back on me
see how better things will be
