Mistress Depression
I could hear the sound of booted steps breaking the eerie still of the ebony night. It was a slow monotonous walk and each step pounded into my heart. Boom boom boom boom... finally it stopped i could tell that the person was standing right behind me. Before they spoke, I knew who it was, i had not forgotten that cold dead feeling. How could i, i was embraced by it for a long time. As much of an enemy as it was, it was also a long lost lover.
