Numb

Emotions? What are those?

What she once felt she can't feel anymore.

The sparks he once gave her have turned into ashes

and the field full of roses has shrunk to bare grasses.

At the slightest clue of anger within,

She feels it arise, then goes numb again.

At the vaguest hint of tears or of sorrow,

They start to arise, then they're quickly burrowed.

Sometimes he manages to make her heart melt,

She feels that certain emotion - what's it called again?

Oh yes, "elation."

But it's vanished before she even knew how it felt.



So she thanks him for helping her realize

That true happiness is not achieved through other people's eyes.

He can't force her to feel - that's up to her, you see...

No matter how tightly he ties her noose,

She will set herself loose.

She will set herself free.
