Hello, everyone! Sorry for the extremely long hiatus, and for this short poem! I figured I needed to update this set of oneshots again. Thank you so much for sticking with it and reading this! Leave a review, if you like. It's okay, I know it's super edgy.

Numb

Years of torment, drenched with memories

Do days go by? Do I live through this life?

How do I survive without

Becoming the dead among the living?

I don't feel the sadness that once plagued me

I only feel your touch upon my face

And I jump into the water, scrubbing my skin

To rid myself of this disease-

Leprosy.

End it all now and let me be free

I apologize that I wasn't

Strong enough

For both of us

I lick the cold steel of the barrel

And it tastes like metal

Ironic how the one thing that can end my immortal life

Is what keeps me feeling alive.

Numb.
