Ah, Depression
A treacherously familiar friend
I feel you are back again.

Stalking, slinking, slowly prowling
Enthralling, alluring,
Pulling me in
Your efforts to drag me in
Are wearing me down
---
Silently your haunting figure shadows me
Constantly sending me to cowering
Do you care, do you see
The pain you inflict in me?

Continuously closer you skulk
There is no place left to hide
For you know my innermost thoughts and fears
And yet, none of which to you I did confide
---
Now your eyes,
So wickedly familiar
And yet achingly hollow
Flat and dull relentlessly they follow

I turn in righteous indignation
To confront you
To forestall you
But my words turn to sand
Slipping through my mind
Lost in the eye of despair

Some sanity remains
A trace of defiance is left
But my demands are now pleas
Weaker and weaker, they dissolve
Melting in the wave of despair.

One last time at resistance I will try
Before I fall into your awful embrace.
Though my attempts may be weak
Your presence I must attempt to defy.

My resolve weakens
My heart,
Shattered and swept away,
Offers no refuge
From your cruel eyes, which do beckon

And the void of your eyes
So empty, yet strangely
Mesmerizing,
Terrifyingly
Drag at me

I turn in fear
To flee
Not to confront
To hide
Not to forestall

All in the vain hope to
Escape.
