Dysfunctional

By Ladyhawke

You asked, what's the scariest part?

I answer, 
It's not the feeling of lonliness
or the darkness that fills you
despite the looming pain of emptiness

The scariest part

is the realization that you
have lost yourself completely
and letting that realization
sink in, as you lay awake at 2am

because you lost the ability to sleep
and you can't even cry,
because you don't even care. 



Lying awake
forgetting how to feel.

    Nice to read you, Ladyhawke its been a while. I've been here before. The pain passes, the tears dry, but eventually we find that spark, that feeling. And hopefully the next time it happens the pain doesn't return, and hearts aren't broken.

  • A former member wrote: What took you so long to write another one? :) Been waiting for eons. I haven't slept in 3 days, occasionally I slip into that weird insomniac place and I really hate it. Feels so zombie-ish.. "Can't even cry and don't even care".. :D :D Amen to that!
