Cold Water
Cold water feels warm when you’re freezing,
Cold hands feel warm when you’re lonely,
Death feels warm when the suffering subsides,
Or when reality takes its spindly fingers around your throat and chokes out the joy.
You drown in cold water and it feels warm and freezing simultaneously.

I can’t feel my feet
Or my hands
Or my face
But most concerning of all

I don’t wanna die

And somehow i can’t change
So maybe being dead is the best option
I hate the way I look

“Cold water feels warm while your freezing.” I said, in a snarky way, looking to my right to see my best friend, Wesley. He had a smug grin on his face knowing damn well what I was talking about. “It’s not my fault your so light” he retorted. I stepped further into the pool, shaking.
