sometimes i see figures in the shadows at night
and they whisper and hiss in the dark dreams i fight
one only answers to the title Regret
another holds all i wish to forget
they niggle and prod at my soft, lonely mind
all knowing of memories i wish no one to find
the shadow named Hatred is a malevolent force
constantly pushing me towards its coveted course
but the chains of the one they call Depression
prevents me, for i am it's prized possession
they tug and they pull me from every which way
and i fear that they forever will stay
only the day brings the slightest reprieve
but even the light cannot make them leave
