Numb.
January 23, 2014
When the razor sliced your skin,
did your pain escape through the gap?
When you choked on your fingers and poured out your dinner,
did you flush away your brokenness?
How did you decide that love
could be found at the bottom of a bottle?
When did you decide that a syringe
could make you feel
anything
but
numb?
