Do you feel me?

Darkness envelopes me.
Stranded on a couch
surrounded by a sea of
empty wine bottles, candy wrappers
and pizza boxes.
Lights out, curtains drawn.
My only company the TV.
Haven't showered in days.
Keeping up appearances
thru email and texts.
A heavy burdened soul
drenched in tears.
No joy, no motivation,
no light at the end of my tunnel.
My suffering knows no end.
