I could be numb

What would it be like to feel nothing
To feel numb like you are
To not feel any pain
A world where nothing will scar

What would it be like to forget you
You don't know how hard I try
And one day I know I'll regret this
Forgetting all my reasons why

What it be like to love
And be loved in return
I know nothing of this feeling
But maybe I could learn

What would it be like to be unbroken
To be complete
Without pieces missing
And without them, I am weak

What would it be like to jump
Off the highest bridge I can find
When even after I'm gone,
The sunlight will reflect off of my tears that still shine

What would it be like to stay
And to not be in your way
To be around you each day
And to feel nothing with every word you say

What would it be like to be over you
I've been under you for so long
I've been stuck in this hole
For half of my life
A life that's only been lived wrong

What would it be like to be done
To keep the promise that this is my last
What would it be like to see me
With all of my pain left in the past
Full title: I could be numb, but no, that would be too easy.

I know exactly how that feels, and you described these feelings in words perfectly. Thanks for sharing it. I don't wanna say something like 'I love it' because it's so sad people have to suffer like this and it would sound wrong.
But it's a great, great work.
