In Despair, In Love With Depression
In love, I once did find such sweet relief,
But now I am consumed by bitter woe.
My heart, once full of joy, now knows only grief,
And all my happiness has turned to woe.
The days stretch on, a never-ending strain,
And I am lost in darkness, deep and vast.
The weight of sadness, like a heavy chain,
Binds me to this life, a prisoner at last.
Depression is a thief that steals my will,
And robs me of the light that once did shine.
I long for hope, a way to break this chill,
And find a path that leads to peace of mind.
But for now, I'll bear this heavy load,
And hope that love will guide me down the road.
