Depression

I see the physical you
amongst shadows
in between shades
incorporeal, unearthly
ominous, definite


I see you move
I see you alive
I see you breathe
I see you smile
I see you taking over


Your face haunting every road
your presence marking every corner
walking step in step
sitting next to me
holding me, sleeping with me



Dark as the night
as dense as fog
heavy as cloying heat
so familiar, yet a stranger
asphyxiating, guaranteed
