‘Tis the season for depression

In autumn's waning light, a boy stands alone, Whispering winds foretell what he's always known.

As leaves cascade in hues of amber and gold, His spirit darkens, a tale often retold.

The chill in the air, a herald of despair, He fights the shadows, but they linger there.

A specter of gloom, relentless and vast, Seasonal sorrows, a spell he's bound to cast.

He seeks refuge in laughter, in joyful sound, Yet the encroaching gloom knows no rebound.

Desperate, he chases fleeting rays of sun, But the looming darkness can't be outrun.

He crafts a shield of smiles, a facade to wear, Hiding the tempest, the brewing despair.

His heart yearns for warmth, for a radiant glow, Yet the weight of the season drags him low.

He longs to dance amidst the falling snow, To defy the melancholy's steady flow.

But like a relentless tide, it begins to swell, Engulfing his world in its icy spell.

He battles bravely, yet he knows it's in vain, As the seasonal sorrow tightens its chain.

Each day a struggle, a fight to endure, Till springtime's embrace offers a cure.

When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.

I shouldn't have to be a liar to make someone love me. I shouldn't be so afraid of losing someone that I'll do anything to make them stay.

I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

And yet to wine, to opium even, I prefer the elixir of your lips on which love flaunts itself; and in the wasteland of desire your eyes afford the wells to slake my thirst.
