Return Again

The depression seeps in

Almost webbing it was throughout your body

Though every limb, every nerve

Soon you’ll meet the darknes

The darkness that supposedly turns into light

But no one truly knows

You shove the barrel of the gun deeper into your head

You stand there dreaming about the day your kids will graduate, without your presence

You grab the keys off the duty desk standing before you

You race home, hoping its not to late to save your kids

By the time you get home they are gone, disconnected forever

Their love for you will never return to it’s original state

Days go by, and by the end of the year they are truly gone

Never to return again
