Day after day
From the great lake of darkness
Wave after wave
This gruesome depression!
There’s a black hole
Lurking inside my chest
Draining all light, my life –
Leaving me empty and bitter
There are no easy answers
For most of my questions,
Not even of yours
But a meaningful silence
You are like an old star
Too cold to give me warmth
A distant faint glow
While I, yes I…
Am a shadow on the walls
Of your empty, quiet room
A dull impression
That you might never see
My heart and mind
Both share loneliness
To stay together
As embodiment of love
Here in the dark and
Faint and grim and
Sempiternal shadow
Cast by your fading light…
