of Depression

Come my friend you wait for me
Covering everything I wish to see
Concealing another’s destiny;
My friend Darkness.
Within my friend lies another friend
That left me to go find the other end
Gone so now no letter I can send;
Through the Darkness.
Mailboxes grow battered and lost
As the sending rises again in cost
So into the trash letters are tossed
I talk to Darkness.
A friend of a friend pass it along
Tell him I miss what’s now gone
But I’ll just carry on
In my Darkness.

What has it been, days or years?
Sharing laughter sharing tears
Comforting each other’s fears
Then you left for eternal darkness.
Sure times have changed
People and places rearranged
While you rest in Darkness
I’ll see you one day
In new light

But not too soon
I hope

Gloom

A friend once told me that her depression was like waking up every morning under a heavy, black cloud. I have no first-hand knowledge , but I can epathise.
Bereavement is the most personal of human emotions, and a very lonely place.
I think your poem is, indeed, for everyone.
Thank you.
