Depression

Depression can leave you with little interest in anything. But sometimes when you’re feeling down, there’s no easier pick-me-up than a favorite movie. It might make you laugh, it might make you cry, but a classic feel-good flick will always leave you a little happier and may even put a smile on your face.

Alone in My Thoughts

Alone in my thoughts
I sit missing you dear
What I would give to have you near

My eyes are without that glistening glow
The one from your love, the one you that you know
(The one that lights up when you love me so.)

Alone in my thoughts
where are you my dear
to have and to hold 
close to me here

Swirls of moonlight dance in my head,
your movement your touch, such a wonderful thread,
the image I perceive is without form 
yet fills my heart now all forlorn

Alone in my thoughts 
my heart awaits
for strings of love
to touch my fate

Among the visions of you and me
I struggle with uncertainty
why I feel lost like a child in the night
and I have this need to hold you tight
I dream of such things, which touch my soul 
and wonder what’s missing to make me whole.

Alone in my thoughts....
