Needles of Depression

Like needles, the pain pricks at my heart

Injecting into me a sadness that can't be ignored

Anguish fills my whole being,

Quaking the fragile world around

Shifting the remains, 

Leaving me drained and empty

Forcing me to become seemingly mindless

A droning whisper, a lifeless body

The very earth in which I tread has betrayed me,

 left me to the cold withered fingers 

The last lingering breaths of life

The physical despair is nothing in comparison

To the hollowness of my soul since your departure

I must admit that I shall always long for your touch

To see the deep emotion filling your eyes

I will forever long to see a warm smile upon your face

And the tenderness hidden away from the world

Forever and always, a lie, a false hope

A betrayal uttered from your lips

How could I have ever believed such a fantasy?
