Despair

Depression slips in

Like a thief in the night

Seeps into the root of my life

Percolates to the very fibre of my being

I know no joy

No pleasure 

From a time that once was

A time so long ago

A distant pleasure is my mirth

A vision of a foreign land

All that surrounds me is despair

Disdain of a sad journey

Playback the sweet melodies of yesteryear

That I remember what happiness feels like

Sing the tunes of carefree fun

That I may once again enjoy youthful splendour

The record spinning

The disc turning

The Ipod playing

Gallant versions of our loves

Yet,

The memory fades

With the press of a button

Stop! Pause! Stop!

And just like that

Amusement disappears

And the rekindled fire extinguished

With a triumphant breath

Sailing away into the abyss

My blissful remembrance of merriment

Now the only cloud that covers

Is one of sadness

Pain

Hurt

Despondency

Melancholy

Sigh!

The heaving heart's release

Yet

That cannot bear any relief

Only a temporary hiatus

As day by day one drifts

Further and further

Into the discontented void

In time, space and in between

Much Love, 

Nella
