Nothing

Nothing

---------------------------

As the sadness creeps in, all happiness disappears

My heart is overcome, it can’t take all these tears

I am one with the darkness, it is now my friend

It will always be with me, until the very end

Knowing I can’t beat it, I have embraced it

My depression and I, we are an impeccable fit

The blackness has seeped in, staining my soul

Will I ever recover? Will I ever be whole?

The answer is no, the answer will always be no

If my dark passenger left me, where would it go?

It would search, looking for another soul to feed on

And what would I be? With the darkness gone?

Surely I’d be an empty shell, with nothing inside

Every ounce of hope that once consumed me, died

With or without it, I would feel completely hollow

But for now…In despair, I will continue to wallow
