Best Numb Poems

Oh now sad frog located on the sandy beach
Emotions raging around the body as an Icelandic volcano
burning holds in a vice grips deeply 
Stranded in the cemetery of broken hearts
It is as if parts of the heart where torn out
shreaded from the body without an...

At night, I w e e p, unable to s l e e p 
(The day somehow passes in pain)
Alone with none to comfort
memories flood my mind
flowing out as dreams 
built of gravestones 
Sorrow chasm
numbs all
pain

three billion missing birds

                    the skies are blue

             with nothing to sing about

this cooler air seems to mottle the trees
spinning leaves like my thoughts in winded dance
befalling trails of tears on crimson breeze
as they fall grounded beneath the oak's stance

i hear the crumble of death beneath me
as i shiver within its strident gasp
chaotic roots reach out beneath...

sitting and pondering
drifting into a
silent reverie

but sometimes
solitude is a fragile shield 
against ignorant perceptions
leading to somber conclusions

demonic voices act 
like harbingers
predicting doom

innocent eyes
plagued into a trance
become emotionally numb
watching the world go by

invisible tears
suppress pain 
with time 
struggling to eliminate 
predictable outcomes

suffering signs of sorrow
go unnoticed...

The world burns apart,
like paper over candle.
The only breaking point 
that this planet couldn't handle.
Something turns to nothing
and that nothing's what remains,
that nothing turns to something
and that something turns to days.
Days are made of moments.
Moments; made of you,
moments make up hours
and together we make two.
We...

Pinch me and I will not feel a thing
Since losing you all feelings gone
What did I do, ....to merit
your hurtful sting, ....i drown
in life's fast river.
Because I am
heartbroken
I am
numb

A crescent moon adorned in gold, hangs
 Like a hammock from heaven's throne
 Surrounded by stars galore
 Twinkling diamonds on high
 Gems of beauty to 
 Behold, and then-
 A star falls..
 And I 
 Sigh

I do believe in magic
I so believe in peace
I believe you know undoubtedly
Of beauties and of beasts
The human spirit can withstand
And rise above the shrine
Belittle all you want, my dear
I’ll be the dwarf in time
But I’ll evolve as I hold dear
These sentiments that haunt you
I’ll...

Left the dentist with a swollen gum,
closed door by accident on thumb,
slipped on porch felt pretty dumb,
made snow angel for fun,
caked snow on my bum,
gum, thumb, bum
really
numb...

I had no choice but to leave you, 
My heart couldn't handle the pain,
You constantly looked for reasons,
To talk to me again....,
Over and over I fell for it,
I so wanted to believe,
That you actually loved me, 
But you became so abusive and mean,
Your feelings ran...

I am in deep despair 
I fear my name he will smear
I don’t know who he is
But I hope he uses a little sense.

I understand My Cowboys
Heard about OUR LOVE STORY
And this one guy
Says he’ll tell ALL

I don’t know what he can tell
Billy wasn’t a...

When her smiles are no longer real
And she laughs only now and then
If every thought is now kept sealed
Hold her until she feels again

When memories only bring tears
And joy's lost in "remember when"
In the darkness quiet her fears
Hold her until she feels again 

A heart...

In one grievous gasp
Slipping through a gaping hole
My heart took to the air
Bruised yet numb
With weightlessness
Like a runaway balloon
Without a string
Suspended in flight
Adrift at the whim 
Of a carefree breeze
No rhyme or reason
Hovering as if to meet
The clouds or the moon
A freedom with no direction
Resigned...

Once a young girl, hopeful and bright,
Now transformed into a monster of night.
Her faith shattered, replaced by doubt,
Lies now the truth, she's lost without.

Tears of joy turned to fearful cries,
Laughter a mask, covering her sighs.
Sleep fraught with battles, demons within,
Her childhood dreams, now screams begin.

Wings...
