Eerie Clutches of Despondency

Struggles with pain
And disappointment are killing
Make me shiver with gloom
Because they offer no respite
Save the looking at tomorrow.
Negligent grief
Cares less for my emotions
Enemies watch for my fall
Give me cause to ponder on
The expediency of human
Effort at regaining lost portions
Of the heart from
Eerie clutches of despondency.
