Shadows rise only to fall again
In this twisted delusion I live in
Phantoms of hope dance trying to tempt me
Haunting depression only taunts me
Reliving faded memories daily
Looking to the past relentlessly
Dwelling on regret with eyes of envy
Agony and despair lingers on my lips
Failure radiates through my soul
Shinning from head to toe
This veil separates me from the normal day to day
Alone by myself apart in this world I stay

It’s just me... thinking.

I used to sleep close to your heart
you held me tight,
kissed my head goodnight.

You said,

"This is how I would have us sleep
all of our nights."

I stayed because I loved the sound of your heart
beating while I slept.

I would wake up and you would look at me
and kiss me good morning.

One night your hold on me
loosened.

No more good night kisses.
No more good morning kisses.

You said,

"I'm just tired."

I took that as your word.

I stayed because I still loved the sound
of your heartbeats.

Then one night
you turned your back to me.

No more kisses.

This time not a word.

I hold on you still,
from behind,

because I miss the sound of your heartbeat.
This is my first ever written poem. I wrote this poem the time of my depression ... where I am falling to the abyss... and I am trying to survive...

This was publish last year from another site.
