Loneliness

Have you ever felt that deep, profound loneliness,
Where it grasps you in its skeletal hands,
And refuses to loosen its cold fingers?
That deep aching sensation,
Where it feels as if your heart has been replaced,
By a gaping hole that sucks in all of you?
Mind-numbing pain,
As if there is no life?
Have you felt that darkness that threatens to creep over you,
Eroding at your sanity,
Digging you deeper and deeper into the prison of your mind?
And have you ever felt the relief that washes over you,
Like a spring rain when someone offers you a hand,
Pulling you from the depths of that loneliness?

Depression, Be Ye My Always Faithful Companion

Depression, be ye my always faithful companion,
When no others are there,
You can be found.

You are my shadow,
Only visible when light begins to shine,
Greedily taking my emotions.

Are you my friend?
You are the only constant,
Never changing.

Are you the only honest one,
With your whispers in my ear,
Even though what you say is dark?

Are you my enemy?
Trying to drag me down,
Into unknown shadowy depths.

Is all you imply lies,
Words meant to sadden me,
To keep me as your own?

I am not sure which is true,
If you are friend or foe,
What your intentions be.

For everytime I come close,
To believing you are lying to me,
Others prove the words that you speak.

Wallflower

A wall,
A person,
Seem to be one.

The person unseen,
Only the wall behind them,
Seems to exist.

Passed by,
They fade away,
Becoming one with the brick.

Tears go unseen,
Cries go unheard,
Feelings go unaffected.

Doubt on one's existence,
If they are worth anything,
Begin to surface.

Who are they?
Just a Wallflower,
With a voice unheard.
