Would You Still Love Me
I am caged in depression.
A mind in haze, prostrate in grief.
The radiance of your candlelit dinner..
I can only decimate in sourness of sad light.
I can only feel nothing,
but would you still love me?
I am helpless in depression.
Waxing and Waning in a tug of war.
The fragrance of your red rose..
I can only desiccate in wilting darkness.
I only have a will to die,
but would you still love me?
I am hopeless in depression.
A timeline ticks.. entailing no future.
The exhilarating brilliance of your words...
I can only strangle the sibilant sounds of hope.
I can only hide and cry, speckle you in brooding,
but would you still love me?
I am miserable in depression.
Surviving a battle of empty loneliness.
Your stardust glamorous passion of love..
I can only turn back.. pushing away your hugs..
You very well know... . I can no longer feel love...
but, would you still love me?
