lying on the floor
staring at the space
below the door
sobbing
praying
wanting to go numb
wishing I could close my eyes
and this day would be done
wanting to sleep
in a dark room
and live in my dreams
or else
float away
to somewhere warm and hazy
somewhere numb
I don't want to feel
anything
anymore
but maybe
the sun will rise tomorrow
the world will be clear and bright
and I will be glad that I am not numb
maybe
