a losing battle

In the course of a few months,
Things changed.
Shouldn't have been a surprise but somehow it is.

The nights are no longer what they used to be.
I find myself avoiding them,
For they bring a loneliness I've not known before.
An empty, dark feeling settles in and threatens to stay.
What I so desperately fought against, is hanging,
oh, so low over me like a heavy blinding fog.

The spring flowers in my soul are dwindling down to a drab ugly black.
I wonder how bad it'll be this time...
Will I lose all feeling again?
Or will the pain be so bad all I can do is scream?

I guess I'll eventually find out.
Oh don't get me wrong.
I'll still fight against it.
What a fool I'd be to let depression creep in
without a struggle.
But I think it's a losing battle.
And sometimes, wars aren't meant to be won.
They just have to be experienced.

For that's where you'll learn your lessons.
In the lost wars.
