Too many feelings, so much at stake
I just want to run away and hide from this
I look at life through my clouded window
Tricking myself into thinking I no longer feel
When the truth is, I no longer want.
You placed your affections within my grasp
Hidden from my my view, I say, I am blinded
Though not by sight, instead by longing
This detachment has become my crutch
No will to care, so why try to love?
It's now the present, and not my past with you
Right here is where you'll leave me be
I built these walls with stones of indifference
You can throw your countless daggers of guilt
But I will no longer address your needs.

Sometimes it's just too painful to feel...
