Curse

I think it's the numbness
That hurts me the most.
That droning sound of silence.

I think it's the desparity
That kills me the slowest.
That makes me crave more violence.

But I know for sure,
Beyond any doubt,
That the loneliness is the worst.

With its low, throbbing ache
And the voids that it makes,
I fear, I am forever cursed.
