The Places Depression Visits

Insomnia seems to grace me With his presence each night. Loneliness often deafens me With the words he left unspoken. Anxiety holds me hostage, Invoking memories I want to forget. Emptiness pours out thoughts I try not to think about. Recklessness knocks at my door And invites himself in like an old friend. Pain, when I'm alone, has a romantic way Of making me feel wanted. Madness sweeps me into his arms For a moment, making me feel home. Guess they always go to The places Depression visits. Interest walked away without saying goodbye And I'm trying to figure out where did I go wrong. Love decided it's time to go separate ways After he did more breaking than mending. Happiness left me with an excuse saying he had enough Trying to kill the monsters inside my head. Hope ran away scared of losing his angels While trying to get rid of my demons. Positivity pulled the trigger on his head Ended his life before it could even begin. Self-worth hanged himself, said he could no longer Perceive a sense of his own worth. Sanity, now a mad man with nothing more to lose, Wrote me a letter, words written in blood: "Darling, farewell." Guess they always leave The places Depression visits.
