Vanish
Hands powerless to tenderly touch
arms powerless to hold her back
words vanish when you need them
to talk of your love
and how elated she still looks
at you knowing your deep hurt
nothing is left to sing with you
but a numbness floating in the air
you gasp for emotion turning
into fogged-up pain
down in the basement, yet
be aware of it when it raises its head
and enter your scared conscious in
the wrath of unbearable monotony
