A candle flickers through the night
An eagle makes it's debut flight
Still fresh the taste of her last bite
Her numbness dulls her pain
Stood on the edge afraid to leap
Dry ducts betray the urge to weep
The promises they couldn't keep
Her numbness dulls her pain
When cupid sent his arrow true
It pierced her heart when sailing through
She smiled through tears as he withdrew
Her numbness dulls her pain
The cherub failed the gods just laughed
She braces for the arctic draught
She navigates the seas by raft
Her numbness dulls her pain
His voice resounded loud and clear
A happy life is drawing near
She heard the words she longed to hear
His love it dulled her pain

Your poem revolves around the juxtaposition of pain and numbness, exploring how emotional detachment can serve as a coping mechanism in the face of heartache and disappointment. The poet delves into themes of love, loss, and resilience, illustrating the narrator's journey through emotional turmoil and the search for solace.
