"My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known -
no wonder, then, that I return the love." Soren Kierkegaard My Dark Love Calls.
There is a glimmer
about the night.
Heigh! Who brings
that torch hence?
Can you not see
I have no use
for your blasted
blessed
light?
Depression, you say?
Nah, my mistress, this;
my eternal love.
Depression is a word
for those
with no love
in their lives
or so they think.
Nay, my life is full
of her love my soul.
Prithee, away you,
with your light
and your eyes
away! I say!
This dread night closes in
around my heart
and
my dark love
calls.
