Digression

Dwell in me cruel sadness
Breed in me then nurse your hatchlings
Make small things seem gigantic
That's why your exsistence is so fantastic
Infinite degrading
Served with bleeding hearts and daisies

But then you closed your eyes and I was someone else
While you fantasized I was still myself
You crawled in my head to be my disgrace
I turned inside out to hide my face

You watched my arms as they bleed
From cuts and burns that were self-inflicted
Today is this the day before
The pains the same only more
Provoking hatered for my flesh
But if I'm not affraid I have nothing left

Then you took my hand and shoved me in the dark
I fell to my knees then I grabbed my heart
You crawled in my head to make me a fraud
You took what little faith I had left in God

You stole my thoughts then wanted more
But I can't change them from what they were before
So dwell in me to taint my soul
Break me down until I fold
Invite me in to my inner thoughts
And keep me there until I'm lost

'Cause you can't close your eyes and make me someone else
You still don't realize that you are myself
You crawled in my head to make yourself a nest
Now I'm invisible and your'e all that's left

A dark poem-but i think you expressed the black hole of depression very well-the black background works well with the associated feelings inside your poem.
