Love Vs. Depression
24 May, 2004
Author: Scorpio
There is nothing left
No hope; no worth
Love is not strong enough for save me
Not this time, no
All alone within my withering boundaries
Cradling into my sorrows
Leaning out; stretching towards my savior
And yet through the blindness of love
He knows nothing
Scared and tormented, am I
Contorted unto him
Yet on the edge of sanity
Lingering over the fate before me
I wish I had a hand
To lift and secure me
Keep this possessed hand from piercing my heart with depression's blade
Keep these eyes from being gouged out by my lack of self courage
Love cannot save me; too far deep, am I, to crawl out
If but through a miracle, he'd save me
And yet through the blindness of love
He knows nothing
------- Author's Notes -------
Sometimes, depression strikes a person without a reason; without any oncoming or trace of to why it happens. But when it does, sometimes, it's the worst thing that can happen that not even the strongest bond can defeat. |

| Meridian (64.12.116.200) -- Monday, May 24 2004, 07:51 pm Love is blind, and love is kind, you better take your time, choose love that's right.... Just a rew lyrics from a song, I made up a while back.... This depression----the way you talk about it, and how it controls you, and how you can't seem to escape it----is just nice, the way you describe your pain.... Don't worry, there'll be a hand on your shoulder, from a friend, who will never leave your side; even in tough situations.... This person will remain to you, like superglue (notice I have the words super, and glue, in one word).... Both of you will remain inseperable, once you get acquainted with each other..... Smiles, Meridian P.S. Do you know who the person is Scorpio? LOL! |
| Scorpio (67.162.95.179) -- Monday, May 24 2004, 08:13 pm Sometimes, it just seems like this depression grabs me and won't let go. Sometimes, worse than others, and when it is, not even love can pull me through. It's as if my depression is stronger than my love which I can't imagine being possible but that's what happens. I continuously try to stay one step ahead so I don't get carried away and do something I'm going to regret, but it's really hard to maintain with this especially for no reason at all. And even if that love were so strong, sometimes love overcomes us with a feeling too great to see any pain, so in a way, makes us blind. This poem is for those people. :) Thank you for your comment. ^^ Smiles back! |
| Xeracy (158.4.56.6) -- Wednesday, May 26 2004, 06:53 pm Nice poem. This is a quote from a book written by one of my personal fav. authors. "Art never comes from happiness." I hope it makes you think a little. |
