Of all the thoughts on my mind, none can compare to
The feelings of emptiness, despair, and lack of hope
Brought to me by the challenge of a new day
Why can happiness and I not elope?

I always feel like dancing when we re-unite
Swaying gently on a breeze
Glistening in the light
But then fear and dread begin to seize

And the next thing I know...
I've dropped like lead
Cold, hard, motionless
I don't leave my bed

Days go by before I feel that way again
And I'm never sure if it is I who feel it
Or some character in a book I read
I feel as if I shall go mad and throw a fit

Why do I go on?
What is the purpose?
You have left me.
I can't resurface

Happiness, my love, where have you gone?
Why have thou deserted me?
