I have this creeping ache on the edges of my bones like the way crystal forms, slowly. Like the way prehistoric bugs that live in caves die every day. I think I forgot to close my eyes and woke up blind. I live my days hoping to grow inwards until my bones start the delicate tearing of my skin and water fills my lungs. I have longed for this to happen ever since i was 7 and I heard drowning was the closest you can get to euphoria.
