Depression

Can't find the energy to rise out of bed.
Can't get the strength to keep pushing along.
Blood shot eyes, and red stained hands.
Dampened sheets, smell of death.

Tissues, and band-aid wrappers litter the floor and night table.
Disposable blades and their wrappers lay freely around.
Her hands ache and are stained with her own drying blood.
Sheets splattered with the traces of her longing depression.

Bruises trace out her cheek bones, and darkened eyes show the real her.
Long shirts, even pants ad mist the summers heat.

Nothing seems to faze her, she walks on through the day with out a care in mind.
Feet dragging, hands grabbing, cleaning, sewing, mopping and washing.

When night comes, the horror is yet to repeat itself.
One punch to the jaw, two kicks to the gut, and three slaps across the face.
Just to make sure, she remembers who is in charge.
It stings, and burns, her mouth throbs.

He leaves her standing silently within the room.
The horror images yet again flashing into her head.
A single tear runs from her eye, trickling down her cheek.
Her eyes closes, her aching body falling down to the floor.

As she rolls her sleeves up, and begins to trace away the pain and sorrow he causes her.
Her hands tremble, her mouth throbbing even harder, the sour metallic blood running into her mouth.
The blade quickly sinking deep within her black and blue, cold fleshy arms.
It's the end, and she doesn't have a care in the world to stop from doing it.

As the blade falls deeper within her flesh, depression flowing freely from the gash.
She gives a final thrust to make sure, it'll never hurt again.
A soft smile cracks on her lips, as the blade rests in her veins.
Her depression, pain, and horror streaming out around her dieing body.

She lifts her head, just as he walks back in for the next round of fun for the night.
Only to discover his punching bag has gone, slipped into a ever lasting coma.
The pain he inflicted on it, seeping out from the gash, his feet stepping back.
Her blood following, as if it was a demon, hating upon him, for eternity.
