Numbness wanes in the light of comfort

Where compassion once collided with reason

We make soft gentle steps towards closure

Only to break the stick underfoot of our resolve

Emotions linger with past thoughts and close times

Bringing forth the reality that they are now, just times.

Speak easy your words. Choose wisely your tone!

Inflection of voice staggers and corrupts

Hold tight lips that are otherwise easy to kiss

Let go of the ties that physically bind us

So easy to move, so easy to change, too easy

Run away from the comfort, its better to be numb

Comfort is changing when I see you

It is dissipated at the sound of your voice

Comfort is gone when you're around

Numb is better than your drama

It is better than facing the emotion

Numb is the only way I can keep her at bay

Newfound happiness overrides the numbness so strong

My next steps lit with reason and resolve

I attempt to walk surefooted and bold.

Not to stress on what snaps underfoot as I tread on

The thought of you lingers until I think of her
Comfortably numb never felt so good.
