It is always the most unexpected people
that we fall in love with
for they blossom and bloom in our hearts.
If I had met him sooner,
we could have created an indestructible us.
If he had met me sooner
perhaps he could have been the drug
prescribed to me by cold-skinned doctors
who see depression in the form
of green and yellow pills.

When I met him
the only darkness I knew was
the colour of midnight
and black ink
but now it is a raging storm over me,
an abyss I can not fight--
Darling, I have become the darkness.

He was too late
to save me from drowning
in the pitch black of my broken mind.
