Death of a Muted Heart

I muted my Heart. To shut off my Brain. I did it all. To numb the Pain. Why Love, when it Hurts. Why Feel, when it Burns. My Soul Bleeds. My Stomach Churns. My Blood runs Cold. My Breath Dies. Why should I Grow Old? My Time moves Slow. Why won't it Hurry. The Lights Fade. My Vision is Blurry. Why Sleep? It Never Ends. I Awake. To Die Again.

Chrissy this is the kind of poem that makes the reader feel what you are feeling, and know we have all been there before. You're tops of the homepage with this one this week and it was very nice to read it. :)
