I imagine depression to be the most beautiful creature. Full lips curved into a perfect crescent, whispering invitations into desperate ears. Arms stretched out, promising comfort Hair long and deep red velvet Hands warm and soft, with fingers like tommy guns. Legs like the trunk of a cherry blossom tree, so much so you feel they may start budding flowers if only you would water them. A torso to carry the weight of men. And you walk towards her No, you run You run so god **** fast to the first beautiful thing to open its arms to you in so many months And when you've collapsed most clumsily into the perfect mess of velvet & gunmetal She will consume you And at first you pay no mind Because it feels good to feel nothing And then the very last drop of who you used to be is dripping from her lips And she offers you solace In her fingers

If depression were my mother
I imagine depression to be the most beautiful creature. Full lips curved into a perfect crescent, whispering invitations into desperate ears. Arms stretched out, promising comfort Hair long and deep red velvet Hands warm and soft, with fingers like tommy guns. Legs like the trunk of a cherry blossom tree, so much so you feel they may start budding flowers if only you would water them. A torso to carry the weight of men. And you walk towards her No, you run You run so god **** fast to the first beautiful thing to open its arms to you in so many months And when you've collapsed most clumsily into the perfect mess of velvet & gunmetal She will consume you And at first you pay no mind Because it feels good to feel nothing And then the very last drop of who you used to be is dripping from her lips And she offers you solace In her fingers
