Depression

It is hard
To share life
With depression

Hard

To even admit
How hard it is

The energy it takes
Not to let his sadness
Take me down

How heavy it is

To lift
Two people

How sad it is

To live with someone
Who hasn’t one spec
Of the hope of a dream
For the future
Much less a plan
For tomorrow

How hard

It is
To know
Someday
I will need
To decide

But not today

I’ve lost him

My happy traveling companion

Lost the days
Of carefree adventures
Only long hard journeys now
