Numb.

I watch as you walk away,
Denying my outstretched hand
I fall to the ground,
Crying for your embrace.
Watching you creep out of sight,
I lay on the cold, hard ground.
I lay for minutes,
for hours,
for days.
My heart is almost cement,
A cold hard rock that feels nothing.
Prying myself away from the spot that held so much pain,
Ready to start a new life of nothing,
No pain,
No happiness,
No sadness.
Nothing existed anymore,
Knowing I was so easy to walk away from
I allowed myself to become a toy for society to use.
Never allowing anyone to gain entry
Never opening up to the one who could melt the shell
Inside a cold stone heart,
That kept me from the numbness for so long,
Was it happening again?
To cause another to walk away,
Only whilst I stood there
Without trying to stop him.
Slowly, my body stayed in that one spot
Where I had previously been left,
Being nothing but a statue
That people could only guess the story behind.
Only being an object to be looked at,
Feeling completely numb,
I am finally happy.
