Numb

No more…

I can’t taste a little bit the smoke of my cigarette

I can’t taste this bitter coffee

I can’t taste the sweet honey

.

I can’t feel the wind comes through

I can’t feel the rain in the sky

I cannot feel much more the clody which covers up the light of the sun

.

Fever is taking over

I am feverish, restless, anxious…

No, the eyes feel like blurring any side of my view of life

Slowly turns to fade

.

Head is shaking, sometimes

I know there is fire within

Burning and torturing me from the inside

Makes me have to stop thingking too much

.

I am falling

In a deep hole I listen for nothing

Blind

I am looking for nothing

Worthless

The hope seems gone sooner or later

.

Tounge can’t drive me to feel her naughty skin

Lips are rigid to receive a truly kiss

And my body can’t taste a warm hug on the bed

When she tried to give it all

But I’m too tired to response it

.

Seconds is ticking away

Keeps the time walking through

I can’t recognize myself… no more

Even when she drags and covers me inside of her thick blanket

.

Beneath of serenety night

I can’t barely feel her warm body

I do can’t taste the way how she used to treat me on our couch

Even when she tried the hundreds time to clamp mine tightly by hers

I feel nothing…

.

The spirit is going down

My health is just falling

I make a distance by far away

That she didn’t recognize me at all

After all

.

I let the disease plays a role

I let it comes and stays within for some time

Never I knew this could be a danger

I lost the way on how I live my life as it used to be

.

Now I decide to layover

Tiredness has made me to be dead in alive

I need more time to recharge

.

But she will find me again in a place where I am lying down

She is on her way to help me feel anything… again

She knows already what kind of massage that I need

To keep alive mine by her two eyes

Without any blanket on us

I think, the virus has taken over my body to blind me away
