Emotions washed away
they beat me with a whip
And broke my spirit
They cut me deep
My heart is heavy
Tears soak my soul
A fire ignites
The fire grows with each hateful word
A heart of stone comes from the flames
Nothing left inside
Just an empty void wishing to be filled
My emotions washed away
I'd rather have a broken spirit
Then one that feels nothing
I'd rather have a heavy heart
Then one made of stone
I'd rather have raging anger
Then no anger at all
But there is nothing I can do
I struggle to care
I'm too tired to care
I struggle to feel
I'm too tired to feel
Too tired for any thing at all
My emotions have deserted me
Frighted by their cruelness
My emotions washed away
Author notes
The emotion is basicaly indifference, no feeling at all.
I went through this process. I'm glad it's over. The worst part really was feeling nothing.It burned. I wanted emotion. I never want to go back their.

Very dark and in depth. Your emotions are penned deeply. I feel a few too many personal nouns but apart from that, nicely done.
Thanks for entering,
