Long time no see, my love I cannot say I've missed this Feeling of brokenness and emotional free fall Or that I miss feeling Nothing at all. So numb, you make me You strip my energy from me Until I navigate life, or my lack there of As only a lonely ghost You fill my head with Despicable, menacing thoughts of Something resembling death Something dark and dingy A place I would like to avoid I'm clinging to everything. Things I never had Friends I never loved Lovers who turned away. You are the only constant in my life. You keep repeating Some sickening chant, your nursery rhyme You say Not even therapy will combat me. I wish you were wrong. So welcome back, depression Anxiety and sadness are your guests this time. I hope you find pleasure As I am drifting through life As I am a shell of a person As if it is not me, not me at all. I unravel in my own thoughts And they entangle me, cutting off my air supply. I cannot say I've missed you at all.

Drifting
