Can you still feel?

Can you still feel?

Can’t breathe.
couldn’t sleep
my brain’s on overload.
Love leaves you broken and cold,
shivering in its absence
and wishing for release.
Friends grow apart,
memories fading,
people once close
turning away from each other.
Moments grow awkward
when the ones sharing them
lock eyes, break contact,
look away as if scared
to reach out to the other being.
I feel like a lion in a cage,
never seen the sky
but I pace still,
unaware.
Nothing makes sense
to a tortured poetic soul.
When your heart dies
can you still feel?
