Aching


I want to stop breathing, But I gotta keep believing. Need to see blood, Need the dull rush. The one that brings numbness, In order to fade the pain. My fingers are shaking, Bones aching. For a slice, A tear, any kind of affliction. This addiction is eating me whole, Keeps me up and never leaves me alone. It's becone my neighbor, And it's quite dreadful. The words it repeats in my head, Oh my I cannot become stable.
