Dark Times

Dark Times

Draining me, dragging me, down into your dungeon 
The same black hole that you keep on plunging into
Falling, pulling me down there with you
I can't stop the thoughts that are depleting you
I don't know how to stop you from descending but I can't stop pretending 
The black hole is not where I want to be
I have no reason not to be happy
Other than the pull of gravitational force 
That the constant negativity has caused

Too many times people fail to realize that their miseries are bringing others down. Just counter with something that brings yourself up and maybe the other will come up, as well. Well penned.
