Depression in an Epidemic
Is it just me in this room
Alone again to consume
the emptiness of this space
Heavy blankets embrace
this empty corpse
dust collects under my only vase
dead flowers cry as
darkness seeps into the flower’s face
Everyone with their masks and gloves have fled
they left the virus to keep me company
but it’s too scared of me, because of the disease that’s already in my head
so i’m alone again because not even a virus wants me
Is it just me in this room
i can’t be alone anymore
why wasn’t i ripped out of the womb
loneliness has diseased my mind leaving me unhinged and hopeless. Can someone want me, anyone, please? My heart is dying and my eyes are dried out, all i have left to give you is this corpse of mine. Is it just me in this room or can you feel the sobs racking my body.
