A lament
It lurks in your mind
A secret thought
That years of depression
Has brought to the fore
Like an itch under the skin
Tingling in your feet
Like a tarantula on the back
Always just out of reach
It’s a dreadful premonition
That nothing matters
That all joy is fragile
And always shatters
Dawn & Dusk
