Depression

Eyes don't bring sleep and comfort.. 
Nights are long and engulfing as an avalanche 
Days devoid of fervor, just drifting from one to another.. 
Mind plays pain and sorrowful notes in a never ending track.. 
Unrelenting tears brings no solace but just a barren, blank state.. 
Strong urge to let go surfaces like a gust of waves
Not a flicker of hope to keep the spirit alive
Dreary dull moments consumed with a stabbing sinking feeling.. 
The cognizance is a struggle yet a speck of mind asks.. 
Will there be a redemption before it slips into an oblivion..
