Numb to all
No feeling to feel
No life to live
There is no life
There is no death
Just the numbness you left me with
The tiredness has a numb effect
Just my eyes drop shut
Numb
The feelings is so strong
Nothing to feel
Nothing great that feels right
All numb by you sharp
Knife that has taken my feelings away
Numb, Numb, Numb
I fell not but I do know
What feeling is supposed to feel like?
I’m not exactly sure but its better than
Nothing at all
I am numb to eternity
You took my feelings away

It's cool-rather than feeling something specific, the broken hearted literally feels nothing. That said, I love the repetition of the word numb but I feel that throughout the poem you keep saying basically the same thing--perhaps include some imagery or increase the figurative language. Otherwise nice jOb !!!!
