My depression whispered to me
he said that I am unlovable
The sweet nothings twist and turn
and stick like an incurable earworm
I fight ghosts in the night
they sing lullabies dark and dreary
the kinds that tell me I am unhinged
I am the weighted brick tied to my love’s ankles
as his lungs fill with water in the ocean of my sorrow
