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.
