I feel nothing when your gone
I used to miss your presence like the night misses the warmth of the sun until it’s return. Coldest before the dawn.
Cold like the frost of winter morning
Numb like the abyss of my scars on my heart
For every word is spoken and memorised as a weapon to be used against me and hold me accountable for every whim you need to sting me with to justify yourself
For there is nothing to do
I cannot leave for I have nowhere
For you have control of the very air I breathe
My tears are dry even though I feel them behind my eyes
I smile to persuade you I am happy
I agree to avoid your arguement
I console you to soothe your anger
I give everything to quieted your anxiety
I do not show you affection
Like I am dead inside and left bitter twisted in the cupboard til you have a need for conversation or ego or reassurance or support or something
Anything that you are not prepared to give out but need
No hunger. No sleep. No dreams. No energy. No emotion. Nothing
How I wish to feel something
Or the change that this circle becomes
If I fight for what I feel I am shut down til I feel nothing so you can feel it all
Because you have proven time again that I am nothing
And then I feel used as if I were nothing
