Pain Fades But I Need To Feel
by @totheriptide
In the shower yesterday
I turned the water up
It burnt my skin, I stayed in
Until the heat wasn't enough
I guess that's how life goes
One day we're hit with pain
And gradually it decreases
But it always stays the same
Slowly, oh so slowly
We're becoming numb
To the hurt that lies within us
Secretly weaving us undone
When we realize we can't feel
We decide to up the dosage
Because is life better empty,
Or when we have a purpose?
We're drowning down and down
Slowly less believing
That all this pain and all this grief
Really has a meaning
