Numb

My heart aches
But I can't feel anymore.
I'm trapped in the dark
And I should be afraid
But I'm not.

Your face is a blur,
A distant memory
Tho you stand before me
And I can feel no remorse
No compassion.

I should love you.
You are the best I can get.
And you love me despite it all.
But I can't find love in my heart
I am numb.

Maybe one day this will change,
The ice that freezes my heart will melt
And I will put my arms around you
And say what you need to hear.
'I love you'

But now I can't feel anything,
Not love, not hate, not fear, not joy,
And it chills me.
Have I lost you forever?
Will I love again?
