the numbness that seems to have settled over me
doesn't seem to want to fade away
yet the rest of me gladly complies.
i'm not so sure i care much anymore
call it apathy
i call it emptiness
it does the strangest things to people.
the lights from the city that held so much for me,
now gives me a headache that pills can't seem to cure..
these days drag along like years
with me begging for the end
begging for mercy from time
let this be done
let this be over
i can't bear one more day,one more day..
promising times
promising indeed..nothing but pain
hold my hand and tell me of your worries
tell me your world
so that i may forget mine in time
comsumed in your words
sing me your life
and make it my own...

It hurts to read of such an ache and not be able to soothe your weariness and fill your emptiness.  Wish I had words of great wisdom to share, but I've only this, my heart to you --

Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
