The pain is pounding
But so very distant.
I can barely feel it.
I wish it would just
Come and flood me.
Deliver merciless agony.
I need to feel pain.
Anticipation is killing me.
That fact that I feel nothingness.
Makes me sad and lonely.
I want to feel something.
Anything at all.

I'm so numb.
Can't feel a thing.
My world is empty and lonely.
I'm so numb.
Wish pain would sing.
Need something to hurt just to make me feel right again.
I'm so numb.
The pain is distant, I feel isolated.
I need to feel something to know I'm alive... to know I'm alright.

Something we all experience and go through, some, more than others. Pain is numbing but so is happiness...

"The pain is distant," such as life. I don't take kindly to pain, but it beats depression. And writing is better than a blade... i like your glasses.

*grins* Thank you.

WOW!!! This sounds like a great song (if only i could hear it in person). This is good. You should let us see more of your darker poems. PLZ

Pain and refuge, we often seek to contain, why?.By letting it burst out, we grow and gain a better existence of what is to come. Well written, I love it!


On Thursday July 3rd, 2003, Nightingale (555) writes:
But don't you hate when something doesn't hurt when it should?

I can hear your voice break by simply looking over your words. This is an outcry of something more than the sum of parts or experiences. I love.

Thanksm Deeter. By the way, that clip of Paper Napkins can be found at http://www.practicallyfamous.com/files/music/papernapkins1.mp3

Wow, I felt the hopelessness and the pain. Wonderful.


On Wednesday July 2nd, 2003, Nightingale (555) writes:
You should hear the vocals that go with it. I cried when I sang it and though I re-recorded it I still have the original, so you hear my voice break.

I did hear the vocals dummy! Oh wait, I think I'm a few months late.
