Nothing left but the lingering feelings
I'd open my eyes if they weren't so red
The tears I can't regain, I've given them away
as the darkness turns to calm and hopelessness
I pull the pillow back over my head
Reaching the edge, afraid to poke my feet out
afraid to show this weakness that curls me up in pain
The covers I can't quite draw over my head
even when there's no one to hide myself from
I still reach to pull myself further in
I almost wish someone would find me in this state
even if I'd lie, even if I would pretend
But there's nothing wrong when I come back to the light
it's only in hiding, in darkness you can see me
The truth lies in the subtle shadows of emotion
but if no one dares to look, then there it will remain
Author notes
Meh, just me thinking about being depressed. And I haven't written any poetry in a while, so I'm trying to do something at least.
Please tell me what you think

Yeah, this poem I can very much relate to.
Especially the end, cos for me its just knowing that someone out there is listening to me, but at times I think we all want to be heard.
Its a good poem. I loved it.

I shall read more of yours tonight, I love it.
