Nothingness

Just a little poem I wrote describing the danger of being hurt repeatedly by the one you love...you reach to a state of emotional nothingness to protect yourself from the pain…
How can I go on when my road here is ended?
With no dreams to build on, with nothing to love
The life that I wanted is now the life that I dread
I can’t hold on to something that has now gone dead

I thought I could carry on through the hurt and the pain
Pretend nothing ever happened, that you were still the one I love
Through feigned laughter and contentment, I tasted bitter tears
I felt the distance of our closeness, and alone I battled my fears

Inside I was slowly dying, tending a passionless heart
What once hurt and made me cry, now seemed a thing of the past
For I learned to feel no hurt meant to be emotionless
And each day I buried my pain till I felt it less and less.
