Casualty of Depression



Casualty of Depression

This is the final piece that goes with my writing Casualty of Depression...
Casualty of Depression….
Your eyes have lost their lustre,
Your smile I see no more,
Your lack passion for all around you,
Your depression is eating my soul…
Your tainting my world with your bitter touch,
Your bringing me down to your way,
You smother me in your darkness,
And there is no fucking escape…
You resist all of my efforts,
To bring a smile to your lips,
You hold back from affection,
You withdraw from all of this…
You shrink back from the light,
Ready to fight,
Oh What a sight,
Your so twisted in your despair,
You cant see how much we care,
And how much it hurts us so,
The damage you wreak,
The pain you seek,
All because your low,
Deep in your depression,
Deep in your despair,
Your melancholy anger,
Can give off quite a scare…
And then you speak of suicide,
Of wanting it all to end…
And all I can do is be there,
Try and be a good friend.
But your killing me,
With all your hate,
With all this loathing of life so great…
Its taking its toll,
Leaving a hole,
Chipping away at my defences from fate.
And I could be you,
And you could be me,
What would you offer then,
To make it all sweet…
Understanding your pain,
Is drivin me insane,
Why cant I fix it and make you whole again..
Why cant we win in this awful game…
I try to bring you light and hope each day,
but you continue to turn me away,
I’m just not sure how much more I can take….
But all this I wont tell,
Wont burden your brow,
Will keep it inside where it cant damage your plight,
To emerge from your darkness into the light…
Where you are so missed,
And cared for and loved,
But you refuse to see us,
Thru your cloud of self doubt…
And all of your hatred and anger misplaced,
Threatens to tear down the walls in this place,
Threatens to destroy all of us who you love,
But you just do not see it…
What you’re doing to us,
And sooner or later if this goes on how it is,
We’ll have to let go…
And you’ll be on your own…
But you always be loved and you’ll always be missed,
please for our sake dont let it come to this…
I can no longer tell,
If I have the strength,
to get us all thru this,
up to the end…

    when depression gets its grip it doesn’t want to let go, when deep depression sinks its teeth, it often seems easier to let it chew you up

  • dimarie replied

    to some yea…it does…
    we all have the inner strength to combat our own demons i believe….
    some of us are just so lost…its hard to find that strength… but its always there… waiting to be released…
