Desensitised


The abuse hits me again
Just like it does every time I feel hurt
There is no release
There is no gateway to peace

It keep coming back
Each time I see a change
Each time you say a word
That used to mean something to me
But it still means that something
Although I'm not allowed to feel it

I'm not allowed anything
Not you, not your friendship
I'm not even allowed to know your well-being
The isolated feeling arises once more

I'm being shut out
Closed away
And the one thing keeping me company
Is the abuse
No one thought that would happen
Because no one ever thinks about me
