Depression The sun has lost its way Where are my tomorrows Deep down the depths unknown I linger in anguish I languish alone And I am sad for myself Tired by depression My mind numbs destiny And I succumb So softly to sadness And I have no energy To fight the grasp of the beast Entombed in my heart The I that I was Is no longer the me that I am Nor the me that I am will be Depression morphs dimension It purges time While forgetting fate Recognition fades Voiding tomorrow And the image We seek As Godly souls Disappears to remorse Youth of forever Growing in years Where have you fallen Down idealic alleys Down streets of forebode You vanish Like raindrops In measures Pretold Friends So quickly made Disappear To the clock And the thoughts of death Go from brick to rock Quick witted jokes Matted upside inside Where are you now Were you painted Like the face of the morning sun Or does your mask of beauty hide itself Beneath a faceless shadow That no one sees And no one finds Where are you now People smiling Eyes having fun Loud gushed laughter Life In the sun Was I really funny In those golden days Or was the gushing laughter That soared from the bellies Of passers bye Something I imagined For surely Now I see no humor in what is Flirtatious girls With fancy blushed lips Boosoms bursting towards life Ripe With fertility Awaiting me Quivering in want Awaiting me Yet I am numb To their touch Is there no solace For this barren heart Oh how I stirred for passion Oh how I stirred for reason Oh... How I gazed blindingly into the future And imagined Evenings of tenderness Where desire and arousal were The keys to an unlocked And unexplored universe That laughter Her smile Gone into hiding Where is she now Where is the smile Where is the tease Where is the promise Of golden dreams Visions of hope Left to blackness Gone Like memories Never to surface And I am blank And I am tired And I am sick
