Depression

The need to exist is fading 
Just like my memories of the good times
My thoughts fester 
Dwell in the dark place 
where the black dog howls
and it's all that  I can hear
Drugs bring the light a bit nearer
but they will not silence the hound 
But my front door as bars 
and no keyhole I can see 
I have friends that would listen
but no words that  I can say 
my silence maybe everlasting 
and that's all that I will say.
