Nightmares

My depression whispered to me

he said that I am unlovable

The sweet nothings twist and turn

and stick like an incurable earworm

I fight ghosts in the night

they sing lullabies dark and dreary

the kinds that tell me I am unhinged

I am the weighted brick tied to my love’s ankles

as his lungs fill with water in the ocean of my sorrow
