It all starts with just one

Then you become addicted

Addicted to the feeling

Of having no feeling at all

Addicted to the red crystals as they burst through your once flawless flesh.

It only takes one to feel the pain

The pain of yesterday slip away

The small blissful amount of satisfaction as you feel release

Release from the sadness you became numb to.

It only takes one to end it all

To end your sense of wondering if you can even feel at all.

It only takes one to think of the mistake

The mistake of the new found addiction you just made

Addicted to the feeling of rubies falling rather than tears

Then you begin to wonder

How you even got here.

Thanks all for reading! I would really love some feedback.  I hope that the end came through that I was talking about how you emotionally got to the feeling of despair. I was wondering if that part was confusing? Thank you again for reading!
