Arms dead weight

Lips blank of passion

Dripping with silence

Hushed

Still

Feeling the emptiness of you

Craving the connection we knew

Mindless matters

Rattled breath

And miscomprehension’s

Leaves hardly a word to say

I’ve tried to find a reason

But I still don’t understand

Feels like

My heart is

Numb to the touch
