Numb

I have no words left at the tip of my tongue,
The air's still fresh as the memories are numb
Every minute, every second as a vivid photo frame,
Every minute, every second cast in fame

My hair is still blowing in the wind,
The thoughts never end as they spin and spin
Lying sleepless on the floor,
Trying to calm down the memories that roar

One moment leads to another and I'm envisioning it again,
It's on repeat in my head and the numbness never ends

I can't feel emotions, I can't condense my thoughts,
I can't hear the agony when firing are the shots
I can't speak a word, I can't understand,
What I know and feel, I can't reprimand

But suddenly it all rushes, my heart beating faster than ever,
And I know that the memories will last forever
That one brush of a hand that one beautiful smile,
That one wistful chuckle will not fade away with time

The numbness subsides and it's not pain that takes toll,
Instead I lay sleepless, smiling on the floor.

~Livi

That one moment you'll treasure forever and will keep on replaying till the end of time.

That one memory that takes you back to the good old days.

That one memory that makes the numbness fade away and brings a smile.
