of Depression

There should be pools of blood here,
In this place I’ve suffered in,
Where walls collect screams of fear
Silently smeared layers deep.

There should be pools of tears shed
On this grim spot where I’ve been,
Pools to mingle with the bled
Fluids from my body seep.

But all that’s here are dark pools
Depression, despair, and dim
Where emotion can not cool
Where lost ability to weep.

Even the pools of dark goes
Fleeing as the sun shine in
Taking away my shadows
Allowing the day to reap.

There should be pools of my gloom
So I go leaving nothing
But light in an empty room
That takes all day long to creep

Gloom

Fitting right up to your name, Sir
and snugging it in tight, less we
ever fear that you would veer from
writing what you know...

although I wish I could...

If Only...

It is in the loss,
words that grip,
squeeze the breath from the living
stopping time, none for the tears and pain,
just the etchings of memories when...

childhood crying out
wanting to go back
to spirit the past
and souvenir every moment,
even those of reprimand
if only...

What is there to hold onto,
but each other
those dark pools wanting to sorrow,
to drown the journey
to imprison the gloom within.

Words cannot describe, can only mingle
in a time of crisis, when somber
and dark in hue are our thoughts
and melancholy becomes us...

Oh Gloomy!! This was ever so good!

And you're right there should be something left behind to show our suffer...
