Never fear the blessed night is here, it will hide you in its depths,

It will eat the pain of your regret, and drink the tears you have wept,

And in its very dark embrace will you at last forget your woes,

It will give you solace untill the morn and drive away your foes.

On its very coldest shores will sweet numbness finally set,

Only then will ignorence concieve and bliss it will beget,

For once this frost gets to your mind and clouds your every thought,

it will hide from sight the desecration your very hand has wrought.

It will not judge you on your crimes, its silence will absolve,

It will reduce to nothingness the problems you cant solve,

Pressed against its beating heart you will not hear the world,

You will not hear its wicked taunts, nor the curses it has hurled.

It will wrap you into apathy, and lull you into sleep,

A slumber colder than mere death will you forever reap,

The blessed night will never ask for more than you can give,

For it believes the old adage of  "LIVE AND LET LIVE.".

I liked the first two lines of this especially "It will eat the pain of your regret, and drink the tears you have wept". It was beautifully written, but I'm not sure I would realized it was about depression if you had not told us. It was a vary nice poem though.

Thankyou,
i wrote this poem when i myself was going through deppresion. And the feeling i so often had was of anger, frustration, desperation and then finally a state of complete and utter apathy. Depression has that effect on many people, who just cant find the will to rise from their beds in the morning. I wrote this poem from a personal standpoint and everything expressed in it happened to me at that point of time.

This was absolutely amazing and captivating.

Thankyou Pratibha for taking the time out to read and comment on my work. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, this is very correct. Depression is a wicked seducer. It whispers in the night "come a little closer". I have dealt with some severe depression and I often felt like it was a spiral slide. Once you start going down, it only accelerates and twists your mind. I remember thinking of it as being in a deep dark well with no way out. God, that's hard to do. My siren song is going to bed. And staying there. It sucks.

Never fear the blessed night is here, it will hide you in its depths,
It will eat the pain of your regret, and drink the tears you have wept,
And in its very dark embrace will you at last forget your woes,
It will give you solace untill the morn and drive away your foes.

Peach style:
Blessed night treasures my soul
It's heartless selfish grip
Rips my face and plugs my ears
Slashes my back with it's whip.

On its very coldest shores will sweet numbness finally set,
Only then will ignorence concieve and bliss it will beget,
For once this frost gets to your mind and clouds your every thought,
it will hide from sight the desecration your very hand has wrought.

Peach style:
Laughing at my shivering
Blessed night takes a bow
And when his evil cackles tame
Snuggles me in somehow.

Now, as fierce as your poem is, it doesn't smack us. But, it is fierce. And incredible descriptive to someone who knows.

Awesome.

Hello peachy,
you are right, maybe this had to be a little fiercer but then i wrote this one a long time ago in the middle of the night practically in one go. As i dont feel this way anymore i am at a loss of how to change this one. If i ever do right such a poem again i will make it way more psychotic lol.
I loved ur version of it by the way, it was really gripping why dont you expand this and make it ur own, it'll be a hit.
