Depression

How dark can pain be
How much pain
Can One endure

When the anger
Dissipates
The rage subsides
I am naked
Vulnerable
Cold
Body
Shivering
The pain
Seeps out
The tears begin
To flow
Releasing
A river
Of sorrow
An endless storm

I ache from outside in
It is unbearable
It screams
It’s clawing
Attacking
Fighting
To escape
This hell
There is
No air
No light
The pain
Dark
All consuming

It strangles
My conscience
Unable to think
Only feel
Feel
The torture
Betrayal
Aching
Pain
Excruciating
Exploding
Reliving
An endless agony
I can’t breathe
Between my sobs
No reprieve

There is no time
No space
Only heartache
In this miserable place
