Description I see your smile
The emotion doesn’t register
I feel your touch
My synapses don’t fire

I’m walking around
I can’t feel my movement
I know I’m breathing
But I don’t think I’m living

I play it off just fine
Laughing and playing
Denying the true fact that
Inside I feel empty

Emotions clamped in
An iron lung
All my senses
Smothered and suffocated

I guess I can’t hide it
I wish I could still fight it.
But what killed my inside
Is slowly destroying my façade

Don’t be surprised when I don’t look back
Don’t be shocked when I’ve nothing to say
Simply lay a rose at my feet
Treat me as you would a grave

I'm right there with ya darlin. I think its just because we have both become so numb to it all, tired of being hurt, so we put up a wall so we don't have to feel anything anymore.

You did a great job of capturing that.

Very well written. I can visualize that you are going through the motions and not really feeling.

When I burn out, that is just how I feel. I give so much of myself to everyone around me that I suddenly wake up empty and there is no one to fill me up as they all expect that from me. I've had to learn to when it is time to say no and clear my plate so I can rest, meditate, create and smell roses.

I like the title. An emotional poem about not feeling emotions. I like that.
