deepest dark secrets, whispered in my ear...
the numbness creeps in-come my dear;
awake the first sharp thrill of fear
mad, wild laughter, ringing clear...
come,my sweetest, here-come near
hide behind the velvet night
submit to chilling colds sharp bite
enveloped by it's flowing dark...
thick like honey, black as death
danger, with each silent breath,
draws closer, and a single tear
slides down one cheek, but none to hear
and none to see, the silent screams
of pain in psychedelic dreams
the broken, shattered mind is lost,
and only thoughts of death adhere
all else blocked out by blinding pain,
and only thoughts of death remain.

How dark can you go my friend, haha
this is great.

I love this part.

come,my sweetest, here-come near
hide behind the velvet night
submit to chilling colds sharp bite

It puts a chill.
great.

This is a great portrayal of depression.  Much of my family has suffered from it.  Very good imagery.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without color,
Paralyzed force, gesture without motion;

--T.S. Eliot

I liked it there. And visit it sometimes.
When life is barren of happiness bell-chimes.
