Despair
the sadness
the crushing grief
pressing closer
ever closer
threatening to swallow me up
i fight and fight
i think i might lose the battle
but still i fight on
winning, losing
day and night
it is overpowering
but i do not give up
the ones i love help me
but they have only a minor part
they cannot fight for me
only give me support
they are just enough
they keep the balance
if they slip, i might be the one to fall
falling down
into the neverending sorrow
never to come up again
destined to drown
without any hope
entering the void
empty of happiness
sinking down
into despair
never to return
