My hope was gone

My love was lost

For I now payed the awful cost

To end the pain deep within

A blackened heart once so pure

To stop the poison without a cure

Just when my hopes began to rise

Depression came to my demise

And dragged me deep into embrace

One of which I couldn't escape

I fought and struggled to the end

Only to be dragged down again

I cursed myself for the coward I was

For hardening myself against the pain

For it would have been short and would've been sweet

Before I could sweep her off her feet

But now i struggle to fill the void

That threatens the emotions I try to protect

Paranoia whispers to me

Lies and gossip I know not to be

Anger and sadness both collide

To soothe to deadly storm inside

Will I ever find a cure?

Even now I am not sure....
