Hold Tight

by Thomas K. Hunt

Deep in sadness
At the root of it all
On the edge of madness
Hold tight or fall

Visions in slumber
In the darkened serene
Pictures tracing time
Dreams within dreams

Coldness in shadows
Quarantined behind walls
Exposed to loneliness
The worst disease of all

Deep in sadness
Behind the root of it all
On the edge of madness
Hold tight or fall

Time in numbers
Minutes are days
Moments are wasted
Never meant to save

Life in memories
Trail to the past
Bridges are burning
Burning to fast

Deep in sadness
Next to the root of it all
On the edge of madness
Hold tight or fall

Here in now
Lungs still breathe
With every breath
The taste of disease

Alone in thought
Alone in mind
Everything that was
Gone with time

Deep in sadness
Within the root of it all
On the edge of madness
Hold tight or fall

Hauntingly powerful...brilliant. As someone who suffers off and on from depression, I can certainly relate to this in my own special way. Thanks for putting it so eloquently into words. :)
