Heart still beats
Embittered by loneliness
Blood still flows
Yet there is no life.
Mind decayed
By ones own thoughts
Memory becomes distorted
Cognitive thought no longer present.
Melancholy stealing
Laughter's sound
Emptiness and silence
The grim substitute.
Isolated, Encircled
By the invisible bars of past betrayal
Life laden with loneliness
One hearts inevitable demise.

i like how you capture the feeling of depression in here. it's like, at least for me, i'm alive...i guess, my blood flows, but emotionally, i'm dead...there is nothing behind my eyes, just a void...a void behind two blinking pearls

There is such precise meaning to be found within these saddened lines.... Extremely well articulated in such strong and vivid pains. The heart, such a delicate instrument, often takes the blows for us - leaving one torn... I liked this alot. Really made me feel and think. Great piece! ~~*
