Depression

A study in depressive mood

Sweet succubus

I hear your siren song

Like the laughter of one I loved all my yesterdays

Hold me

Kiss me

Ensnare me

Please

A whisper and a caress and I am yours and truly yours

Nothing can hurt as long as you're with me

Then there was us

With you I shall live forever

Yet my past shall last a day

We move to the rhythm of the waltz of the damned

Every rise and fall bringing me further from the sorrow

Closer to a place so painless and free

Deeper into this sepulchre of yours and for me

Ensnared in your gentle talons I know I must leave

But this b*****d child of passion lost and cowardice envelopes me within

Like laying on the lonely atoll and watching the sun go down

Wave after wave of sweet surrender but the tide is coming in

One more barrage and my strength has forsaken me

Let the tide take me where it wants to 

It matters not for everywhere all I see is you

Pray Scylla or Charybdis put an end to this

And as I fade and the world forgets my face

Let me reminisce that I once stood on the cusp of love and glory

Before my sweet succubus lusted for someone like me

This is a great way to open minds about the sways of depression. The extent of ones trappings lie uniquely with that individual and to take the sadness and weight of depression and give it life as a seductress is brilliant. A truly thought provoking and excellent read.

I personally have problems when writing about depression, I don't think I manage to evoke the emotions I need to but this one's well-penned and I really like it. Well done!

I like the metaphor here; I think people rarely think of depression as seductive as well as draining, but it certainly can be.
