Numb Again

Please remember that I'm here
Please try to connect to me
For if you forget me for too long
Then I'll be forced to forget about you
To push you to the back of my mind
And the bottom of my aching heart
Maybe I really don't matter to you
And you're tired of me trying
I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt
But the first betrayal is the worst
The ones that follow a numb ache
So please remember
Because, sadly
With the dull throb of a heart too many times broken
I'm starting to believe
I should forget about you
Don't throw me a crumb now and then
Either nourish the connection
Or break it
And forget it
And leave me
Numb again.

Makeup Mask

I sometimes wonder
how many times
I have stopped
my tears from flowing
so as not to smear
my mascara
and my image of flawless cool
