As feelings take hold and numbness dissipates, I wonder where I was before, so lost unfeeling, so hollow and numb to everything I thought I loved...
But you came and brought back my muse, sparkling and beguiling as you are, racing back and forth to catch my love as it falls...
But never did you call me by my name, and it make me wonder if you ever even knew it, but I didn't question for I'd fallen into your spindled web of lies...
Now take me by my hand and lead me to your desolate lands of doom, where my heart will stop beating once more as it freezes over like icicles that were meant to be tears...
Broken and alone I cried again for a love that was never mine, but it brought back my feelings, my emotions, it all!, and it set me free from that cold empty numb flat hollow feeling that was once me...
Sitting now on perched wooden stumps in the forest I weep for everything that has been lost, all the love, all the glory, all the everything I could have been but am not...
I'm desolate and alone once more, without anyone but myself, my arms to comfort me in the dark dreary morbid place I call home that resides within the inner sanctums of my heart...

A pained and well spoken piece of thought. The depths of emptiness consuming, with an ache that cannot be compared. Thank you for your entry & Best wishes in the contest!
