There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship (10)__________ on the horizon.
You are (11)________ coming through in waves.
Your (12)________ move but I can’t hear (13)________ you’re sayin’.

I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
