Numb

It's not being alone in itself that is so frustrating. It's when you find that someone, that someone who makes you feel whole... It's not that you didn't feel whole before, but you just never knew how much more you could be until that person became a part of your life. That person who quickens your heart, shortens your breath, moistens your palms, who brings you to life; makes you alive in a way you've never known possible. But then you discover that they can't be there by your side, that you can't achieve the heights that you knew you could because they're not flying with you. That's what hurts, that's what is frustrating, that's what makes you feel even more... alone.

How did you force your way in here? You were uninvited.

You're the best of me, and also the worst.

I want to understand your words, and your silences.

I must rely on the strength within,
to survive through this pain.
to overcome the hurt,
seek the sunrise again,
to walk through this desert.

"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit." - Harry Truman
