Depression or Grief - if only we could...

                                       I read the sigh on the cage,
                                       Empty for Full ~ Buy a Spare;
                                       It seemed more than a fair wage
                                       To replace the empty air.

                                       I would tear open the door,
                                       Leaving my empty for full,
                                       Setting mine on the cold floor,
                                       And finding warmth in the pull.

                                       I’d tear out my frozen heart
                                       And grab hold of the warm spare,
                                       In the hope a fire would start
                                       Within the beat of the heir.

                                       New fuel for a burned out soul,
                                       Burning with a brand new glow
                                       That warms and fills the dark hole
                                       Of the cold, that I now know.

                                       Empty for Full ~ Buy a Spare:
                                       I would do it in a flash;
                                       The hot flames burning despair,
                                       I’d throw the ash in the trash.
