Depression Game

by EssenceOfLace   Mar 18, 2006


Wrapped in your never ending circle of imaginary love.
Trying to escape,
your arms clench ahold,
you say I have to wait.

Burn the candle and ignite the flame,
your sadistic ways
turn this into a sick twisted game.

Set my heart free,
to find the one I've longed for,
your love is fake,
just a game of torture.

Let me go I've been here too long,
let my spirit rise from its grave,
to sing its sweet sacred song.

You mess with my mind
time and time again,
lead me to the light,
then pull me back in.

Tell me- am I here or am I not?
tell me what is going on,
because I know I have forgot.

Who I am
is no longer who I used to be,
please let me go,
please set me free.

I'm tired of this place,
I want to go back to the world I know as sane,
I'm sick of this world,
of this depression game...

    I love how you relate love to a game. So true. Then you bring it all together about mid-poem when you relate the world to a game. Beautifully penned. I really like your work thus far and you deserve a great deal of amazing ratings because this is amazing work. 5/5

    F-cking incredible, down to every word this is great and very accurate.

    Set my heart free,
    to find the one I've longed for,
    your love is fake,
    just a game of torture.
