Written to vent my feelings and fears at various stages of depression.
MISSING           

In fetal pose,                                        
Safe, warm in a corner                    
Enveloped by shadows                    
That no one can see                              
Not even me                                        

No day or night,                              
Light, never enters here                    
Black velvet quicksand fog                    
Draws me more inward,                              
Deeper than deep                              

Pray for relief—                              
What, does no answer come?                    
Pray for a rescuer—                              
But does no one hear?                    
Loneliness enters                              

Loneliness lies                    
beside me at midnight                              
Roots thrust deep with thirsting          
Feeds on sighs and tears                    
‘til
Heart and soul consumed,                    
I fade into darkness, unseen~~~*
