My eyes burn from the tears
As I hold my head and cry
My hands stay shaking
No, I don't know why

I don't think I care
Not anymore
Speaking to those who
Know all the answers

Don't feel the pain
Don't know my answers
What do I say
To try and stay sane?

Love is too strong
Too strong to lose

If I had known
The only love I'd ever feel
Was the kind that hurt
I'm not sure what I'd choose

Depression sets in
Poison in my veins

Write me a poem
Just to erase it

...again.

“Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.” -Henry David Thoreau
