To Feel Again

By little-known

Death takes the insecurities out of the living
​They say things get better
​They say if you stop fighting the anger goes away
​The tears simply dry up
​A sheet of ice freezes over the emotions
​Leaving you numb
But broken
​As storm clouds hover amongst the stars
​Waiting to creep back in

​Time moves slowly
But still it moves
​ The  further I get from you
​The more it wounds
​Life cruelly goes on
​Birds still wake
​This earth still cries
​The heaven's shake

​This world is cruel
​This life restricts
​Taking me further from you
​With every waking breath
I would stop the living to have you back
​Give my life for one more kiss

​There is a beauty to the restless
​We wander amongst the alive
​But everyday I find
​Your further away with time

I do not want to forget you
I don't wish for this numbness
​Or this heavy ice I carry
​Oh if I could just change this
​If I could still feel
​Rid me of this numbness
​As emotions make you real 
​ The distant dream you are becoming
Would never exist
​Surely it is better to feel
Than live as this
