back here she comes again
carrying bags of pain
to destroy the last parts of me that remain
herself, she welcomes in
wearing the biggest grin
ready to make my world once more spin
“how have you been?” she asks
i reply “so much better without you thanks”
and then she lets out the most dramatic of gasps
i felt so lonely without her presence, but in a good way
this time she has not come to just play
she unpacks and says she is here to stay
this is more than just a quick trip
says that she is sick of the friends with benefits script
now she is ready for a committed relationship
i have been searching a love like hers for too long
she is probably the only arms i will ever belong
maybe this time it will not go so terribly wrong
i give in to it all and to be mine, i let her
now stuck with her forever
me and depression are officially together
