Uncomfortably Numb

You know it’s bad

When you start doing it for the dopamine.

You know what I mean.

When she occupies your thoughts

Not because you miss her

But because you miss there being a “her.”

When you drink on your own,

To give the numbness a duller tone.

When you can’t bring yourself to watch a film

Because scrolling is that little bit easier.

That’s when you know it’s bad.
