I Was Numb

The truth is -
I needed you more than I revealed.
I look back at those times
When I just stayed with what I thought was right..
I was such a fool.
So stupid, so blind.
I have such a knack for hiding my emotions -
Even from myself.
Later, they come to haunt me,
Eating away at my thoughts, reminding me of what I should've done, should've said.
I was calm and collected,
Smiling, reserved.
But most of all, deep inside
I was numb.

But you couldn't have known that,
Could you?

    dude.

    Nice one, KOTWF. I think in line 7 the word you want is "knack" rather than "act" but I could be wrong! The emotion you invoke here is a universal one.
