Depression
The snow beneath my feet is rotten,
My mind's a place in time forgotten,
The seasons have left and abandoned me,
Cold winter stayed to keep me company.
I wake at four in sleepless slumbers,
And count lost days like broken numbers,
While tears my withered face caress,
And lay my broken smiles to rest.
Fuck the joys of ignorant youth,
I welcome life's despair as truth,
I turn my face from the Gods divine,
My love's a bird, to a cage confined!
What good are days spent in frustration,
Hopeless depths, and isolation?
What good is life when all its pleasures,
Are broken lies and faded leisures?
The blade was looking softly tempting,
Glowing friendly, not pretending,
It cut me as I stroked it kindly,
And of summer loves and midnight dances
It did remind me.
