On the edge of an abyss

0 posted 2009-11-18 02:10 AM



How do I explain
that when I begin to feel sad
my world turns a deep shade of blue;
It results from the memories
which return now and then
bringing pain and depression back too.

You've given me sunshine
and laughter and love
and shelter in your tender embrace;
But in spite of that love
and laughter and light
I can't bring a smile to my face.

The darkness around
and the sadness I feel
seem to seep right into my soul;
I fight what I feel
but the sadness persists
it's always the one in control.

It waits in the shadows
til the darkness decends
to banish all traces of light;
To confront me when
I'm the most vulnerable,
when I'm scared and too tired to fight.

I try to resist
but I keep sliding down
slipping deeper inside of some hole;
Losing a little bit more
of myself every day
til only emptiness remains in my soul.

Lovely closing lines.
