The Effects of Depression

You once promised me a world
of candlelight dinner
What happened to the man who of
my heart was the winner?
Roses so sweet on the table
to find
What turned your soul so dark
and unkind?

I can still see you in there
beneath the sorrow and pain
In a cell dark and dismal
full of thunder and rain
A child hidden
from sunlight
Is there end
to your dreary night?

You need to make me believe
you still love me
The love I feel
I wish you could see
speak to me with your heart
tell me how you feel
Only then, my precious,
can I help you heal
