t.w: depression

day after day it's the same
sitting in the corner
the shadows enveloping me
like a cold embrace

my thoughts race unspoken
trapped inside my mind
bouncing off the walls

far too often now
it's like this
wondering when it will finally end

the light streaming from the curtains
is too much to bear
i struggle to my feet and close them
covering me in suffocating darkness

there's no warmth to this
haunted by the ghosts of my past
unable to free myself from
unspoken horrors

memories linger,
forcing me to remember
but i don't want to remember
any of it. all of it.

the screams coming out my mouth
the pain replacing where love should've been
the nights filled with fear
asking myself one question
what lover will i get today?

i stay shaking in that corner
lost, entranced in the echoes of the past
where words cut deeper than blades

i know one day, i have to get up
but for now, i'm fine here
remembering, crying, hurting.
