Heh...least it wasn't a super deep one.

Seriesly...numbness bothers me almost more than pain, I think. At least pain is fairly temporary. The numbness lasts hours, usually, and I am in more pain when it's done since I've usually chewed my tongue raw accidentally. Not to mention needles are evil...

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.
