Numb Poem by Abdul Basit

tears sliding down the courses of my cheek,
for i was bleeding inside, my heart seared with pain,
for pain remained undented inside me,
crippled and mangled the living optimist in me,
for a second it seemed to me like,
the world would never change,
for pain would live long in it,
my heart was quite swimming in,
in the deepest, darkest sea of the blues,
then my feelings evaporated,
i could'nt taste, could'nt feel the emotions,
for then i reckoned, i was numb
