it's = its, gramatical

That's about all I could find 'wrong' with yours. The fact that you use more commas than I was the only other thing, but that's just writing style.

It sounds like you're emphasizing 'detachment', but would probably be more effective as-

There’s love in this pain that I’m feeling.
This numb;
This bloodless feeling of
detachment.

but again that's more writing preference than anything, and I think it's meant to be a three line stanza, looking at how the poem progresses.

And thus the ending to my strenuous search for badness.

I liked the poem, though. Honestly, at the name "Exodus", my first thought was "Oh, god, please not another Evanescence rip...". But I was most pleased when it turned out quite a different story, unrelating to the song by the same name.

I loved all of the wonderful hidden meanings, but did you mean for this to be one?

And,
How could something so cold hearted, feel, so warm?
It struck a double meaning to me, vaguely though, and I wasn't sure if you intended for it to be a play on words (cold hearted, harsh; cold hearted, blood loss).

Mmmm, yes, a bit long, but still kept my attention througout.
