Depression

By Ravenas

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Greetings, my name is depression You may have heard of me Or maybe even met me before If not, lets get acquainted So when I meet you again We can quickly commence with a relationship You will never forget I will be your best friend I will love you to death When you stir from your nightmares I will greet you And swallow the birdsongs When you crawl from your cocoon of sleep I will wrap you in my Impenetrable shell Cover me in clothes Make my red rimmed, black-bagged eyes Tolerable with a mask And lets get on with our day Did I mention I have your life all under control I’ve arranged it So we can spend as much time as possible together You can’t be happy without me We will cry together You will never be alone I will be with you until death does us part Soon…er or later… Oh yeah I don’t mind if you have other relationships In fact, I will introduce you to my friends Addiction and obsession Fatigue and boredom Pain and misery Among others But they wont separate us, I promise But anyway It was nice to have met you I’ll see you again sometime And we’ll take things from there.
