Demolition

Demolition

It's a common saying: dead inside
To function without passion
To awaken without zest
A dull disinterest in life
No invested sense of expectation
No curiosity or excitement
Just dry detatched faux participation
Pretending to be present yet galaxies away
And I can't put my finger on it
The trigger for this pulseless blood
That vanishes my veins and sense of self
Everything's undergoing erasure
Like a castle of sand at the beach
That has no way
Of resisting the buffeting of time

WOW this is something special. You have captivated that sense of numbness that can occur to a spirit suffering trauma. But you penned it in such a delicate way, that it lulls the reader gently into a sense of detachment. Again your analogies are just so beautifully done. A truly wonderful write

Thanks. I think everyone has to have felt this way at least once in their life. It's a horrid emotion/mood but part of the human condition. 

SHALOM 🤎
