Guilt

This numbing feeling
needs to leave.
Thus, the reason for what I did.
The reason I feel so guilty.
The reason I feel like shit.
I feel so numb,
I'll drown in it.
So I let you wash over me.
And penetrate my bones.
You leave the misery I longed for.
This feeling leaves me wanting more.
Needing to feel the alone.
And I know what we did hurt someone else, but this numbing feeling won't leave my soul.
So I'll take this misery,
Because when the happiness goes,
it brings more numbness.
And I always know
coming down from that high could be deadlier than staying down where the darkness glows.
