I was slipping, down into the hole of nothing
I could feel it before I was aware
Trapping me without thinking of escape
Suffocating me with bitterness and despair
"How are you?" they ask
"Good thank you." I say to be polite
I wasn't good, that's all a mask
I was constantly stuck in the night
Drowning and drowning even more
Smile to tears, smile to tears, smile to tears
As if it was a daily chore
My only allowance was the growing fears
When you arrived I saw the light to by shadowy tunnel
My only escape from the darkness
My growing vines of sadness crumbled
Securing me with light like a harness
You are my freedom from my prison
Clarity and serenity every time I hold you
Giving me the joy I was missing
Turning life into bright shades of yellow instead of terrible blue
When you are away I feel the suffocating claws again
My hands tingle, yearning to hold you
Every evil thought would drain
Every shot of saddening thoughts flew past me
And even though I still feel the tempting side of the dark
You are there to give me peace
Staining joy on me like watermarks
Gluing me back to one piece
