Title: Red
Feeling: Alone, Sad, Depressed
Warning: Depression

I lay at rest on my bed
With eyes shining the color red
As tears fall down my cheeks
Carrying hidden sorrows for weeks

Yet the pain won't go away-
Why won't they go away?
No matter how hard I scream
I just can't wake from this dream

A dream of eternal bliss,
Oh, how I entirely wish
Yet I know, painstakingly so
How this pain will only continue to grow

And its not like reality is any better
With how my pillow seems wetter
As days, months, years, pass by
I can only approach them with a sigh

For I wonder how long will I last
With hauntings from this ghost of my past
That persistently seems to bother me
And has no plans of letting me be

So if one day, I disappear like air
It just means that its too much to bare
The demons whispering cruelly
And had yet said it so enchantingly

Now, as I lay with eyes of red
I feel their hands patting my head
Telling me that soon will be my time
And that I am only atoning my crime

The crime of living,
And of continuously breathing
I can't help but close my eyes
As I let out my pain through my cries

Yet I know, all will be for nothing
For the pain won't be disappearing
Forming a larger hole as days pass
I wonder how long I will last
