Would You Still Love Me

I am caged in depression. A mind in haze, prostrate in grief. The radiance of your candlelit dinner.. I can only decimate in sourness of sad light. I can only feel nothing, but would you still love me? I am helpless in depression. Waxing and Waning in a tug of war. The fragrance of your red rose.. I can only desiccate in wilting darkness. I only have a will to die, but would you still love me? I am hopeless in depression. A timeline ticks.. entailing no future. The exhilarating brilliance of your words... I can only strangle the sibilant sounds of hope. I can only hide and cry, speckle you in brooding, but would you still love me? I am miserable in depression. Surviving a battle of empty loneliness. Your stardust glamorous passion of love.. I can only turn back.. pushing away your hugs.. You very well know... . I can no longer feel love... but, would you still love me?
