Next time I hear it ring I won’t answer its call,
I will hide down here all alone,
Sheltering from depression when it’s full blown.

It’s a life long game of cat and mouse,
With me never living alone in my dark house,
Always someone lurking in the background,
Moving inside me never making a sound.

I run and pick up my pace,
All the while depression laughs in my face,
I have begged and I have pleaded,
Never being given all that I have needed.

The harder I run , the harder the fight,
I pray for day and fear the night,
Empty shadows climb my soul,
I’ll always be half and never a whole.

The last piece is missing to my jigsaw,
Laying in the gutter I am his whore,
Chained to his black, black heart,
Silent tears fall as my world falls apart.

The intensity in this peice was astonishing. I found that at times the flow seemed disturbed a little but it regained its accuracy. the last stanza was the weakest in my opinion. Though i enjoyed the revelations in the last stanza i felt it just a bit out of place with the rest of the peice. My favorit line was "empty shadows climb my soul". it was vivid and very emotive. thanks for a great read!

WOW! thats really all I can say, I also go through depression, and it does get really bad, that is why I started writing poetry, because it gets so bad sometimes that poetry is my only escape, I hope it eases up on you, and keep writing in your poetry.
With love,
S.S

Wow I can definitely relate to this poem the
emotions and dark thoughts were expressed
very well and it brought back reminders of a
very dark place in my life. Notice how I said
"reminders" there IS an end to your pain, but
you need to place your trust and faith in
Jesus He is the only one that can take away
the pain you have. Yeah good poem and I
hope you find your way past the depression
very soon. E-mail me or PM me if you have
the time.

*Hugs*
Joel
