Dear Depression

Dear Depression,

I thought we had parted ways,

I thought we had ended our relationship

I thought we had resolved our issues

But i see you are back again.

Dear Depression,

I don't like it when you visit

I don't like it how you sneak up on me

I don't like it how you show up uninvited

But I see i gave you my house key.

Dear Depression,

I don't understand why i am comfortable around you

I don't understand why i can't get rid of you

I don't understand why i gravitate to you

But I see i enjoy your company.

Dear Depression,

I am tired of the rollercoaster

I am tired of this merry go round

I am tired of this never ending trip

But i see myself going for another ride.

Dear Depression,

Could you let me go

Could you never come back

Could you leave me be

Because you seem to have a grip on me.

Dear Depression,

Could we strike a deal

Could we make a pact

Could we finally agree

Because you seem to be so at home with me.

Dear Depression,

Are we now allies?

Are we partners in crime?

Are we in it to survive?

Because you seem to need me to thrive.

Dear Depression,

I guess I finally give up

I guess I truly give in

I guess you ultimately win

Because i seem to be your reluctant accomplice.
