Sadness

The sadness that swallows my heart,
And fills my head with thoughts of loneliness,
Is day by day draining the life from me.
As the depression becomes greater,
And the realization sets in,
My future becomes more clear.
Meant to be alone forever,
Meant to have noone who cares for me,
Meant to die without anyone near.
The only release from this sadness,
The end of life,
And yet I fight day by day to make it better.
And while I win the battles,
I am losing the war,
As my sadness starts to drown me.
As long as one person cares for me,
I hold on breath by breath,
Fighting for air as I break the surface.
And with every breath I take,
My hope dangles on a string,
If only there was someone.
Someone to save me from my sadness,
Bring me back to the surface,
Breathe life into me yet again.
As long as someone exists,
Someone to pull me back,
I will not perish.
