Numbness

We stopped loving each other

As if love had run out

And now we are struggling to find its joy or love itself again

The lack of love

It plunged us both into our selfishness and narcissism

The other was constantly to blame and we did nothing wrong

And all this, a new sadness we made us know

That of loneliness and conceit

Of the exclusivity of the other

And of his given non-existence

Egoism, egocentrism, navel-gazing

We made us alone

We were next to each other, and yet a huge void existed between us

And I want so much for this void to go away

To be close again

To have you hold my hand again to hug you

To have you hold my hand to hug me

But I don't know if this can come true

You see, we the feeling is over

And with it the hope
