In the corner she sits and stares
As she watches me through her contemplating snares
Laughter fills the room
As she approaches & brings with her unprecedented doom
She grabs the light within me
And starts a waltz, ignoring my plea
The laughter starts to fade
Ring around the rosies with never ending words she played
Leading me further into her corner
The funeral she has planned, needs a mourner
As I step towards her, my eye catches the light
My Soul clinging to every inch of the internal fight
Lady of Darkness wraps me in her coat
Using a broken cup to scoop the ocean out of a sinking boat
Suffocating as my toes find the oceans floor
Realising in that second, this was a make believe war
Lady of Darkness sinks beneath me
She finally heard my plea.

A poem about depression
Robyn Taylor Jul 2020
Sit with me in this quiet
Lock your eyes to mine as My Soul starts a riot
Time didn’t stand a chance in this story
The universe conspiring & smirking at the glory
There you were...
Walking through this life without obscure
I saw a glimpse of emerald in your eyes
The storm was brewing despite our own demise
Your kaleidoscopes beamed light through my heart
Regardless of the ending... this is where we start

Our souls dance in glimmers of green, pink & blue
If I know of anything, to be true... it would be You.

Sit with me in the dark
Whilst on these pages I spill my heart

Time holds no weight
When you put your soul at stake

Naked into the light you step
Leaving behind all fear & forgotten regret

Ripping apart your rib cage as the light shines in
Love was never a game you were going to win

Love me for this meat bag
Whilst my broken wings, behind me drag
I will fix your halo while mine breaks
Even if its my own soul, at stake
Your demons are lurking in the dark
Come into the light, I will show them my spark...

Keep smiling while we waltz to this song
For these are the smiles we will lose, in a world so wrong
I will allow you to lead
If its my hunger that you can feed
Starve your curiosity through your finger tips
Trace my veins as we lose all our grip

Stairwell kisses leave us deprived
A hunger our souls can no longer deny
Your eyes stain my skin
Because of you.... I give into my sin.

I am ashamed
At how broken i am.
I apologize
For the amount of stress
I may cause in the midst of your
Efforts of trying to keep me held together.
I apologize
that i continue to fall apart
Before your glue has time to dry.
I apologize
That every time you pick a piece of me up,
Yet another breaks.
I am trying.
You are fixing me slower than i am breaking,
And i am ashamed.
Thank you.
Thank you for not giving up
On a broken piece of nothing.

Faith...

Just a simple word
But yet not to a broken soul deterred
One step at a time, no matter how lonely it may be
As you move towards the light, your heart will see

Fear riddles your throat as you choke through your prayers
In the darkness of your room, you lose the fight against their snares

Hanging by a thread still means you’re hanging on
Allow your heart to give in to what it longs

Tonight... My heart is weighed down
I gave away my kingdom, but he stole my crown

Something in me tugs at every inner voice
Be patient.. Stay. Don’t make a bad choice.
I don’t want my heart to crumble
Yet towards this inevitable outcome, I stumble

Tug of war day by day
Yet patiently my soul sits & stays

My mind sees the logic yet my heart neglects
My heart is longing but my soul wants to protect.
