Simpler

I wish the world were numb.

Pain never a factor,
hope never a dream,
feelings stay hidden.

Love is the worst.
Try to convince yourself
it will last forever.
Never knowing.

Why do I try?
All I do is hurt
when it's all
said and done.

I feel nothing and everything.
Emotions, a blur.
Am I alone?
I wish the world were numb.
