A New Low

A new low. Depression is in session in the black hole of my head; It drags the misery deep inside me and I wish I was dead. I no longer want to live in a world so cold; I shiver. I never forget the emptiness within my heart And the solitary of my soul. Love no longer lives here, for I now live alone; Oh my God how I do detest the silence of my phone. No more calls of happiness are made; A new low to be found. Just sadness and hurt are all I can see, In the mirror reflecting my face, Because you are no longer around. It’s a new kind of low I’m experiencing now, But it’s a low I like living in, for it can no longer bring me down. I have hit rock bottom and I live here alone; But I am happy in the darkness, it has become my home. A life without love is hard but it is manageable; I no longer need the light of loves burning candle, To keep me alive; I find solace in solitude. My only desire is to see her nude. But when you look up at every one, who you think you are below, You find comfort in your misery, because you have hit a new low. It’s a new low to cherish because it’s a new low I have And this new low is mine to manage, so I will struggle on with the show. Another human being stands in front of my smiling And all I can think about is how I am still dying. Their happiness makes me laugh because soon they will fall And I shall have to feel absolutely nothing at all. (C)2016 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
