Depression is my soulmate

Depression is my soulmate

He fell in love with me

He couldn't wait

Depression lays in bed with me at night

Follows me in my dreams

Holds me back from the light

He wants me all to himself

He whispers sweet nothings in my ear

Convincing me I can't survive by myself

I try to get away

but he holds so tight

He says I  have to stay

He pulls me close, slow dances with me

When I'm with him , he recites every bad memory of the day

I start to believe this is all my life will be

I want to think it isn't true

but is it?

it might be?

I have no clue

Depression doesn't like when I have a friend

He gets jealous of happiness

He makes a big fuss and that's usually the end

When they leave, he reminds me that hes here to stay

I lay in bed crying

He comes in, holds me till I'm okay

I know I should get away, find help

But not even my mother believes me ... whelp

Depression meet my parents without my knowing

He made them think when I'm free from him ,the real me isn't showing

I guess hes my better half

The side of me that makes them laugh

But I can't get away, its too late

I lost the key to freedom's gate

Apparently this is my fate

Depression is my soulmate
