Concepts And Depression Poem by Alejandro Torres

I have rested
Under a fog of depression
As dark as night
With brief flashes of light
You were so much more brave
In the heat of a stupor
Than when I stood beside you
But so far away
You still manage to take my breath
Away
Like stolen moments
Through my best and worst days
I have found a futility
In trying to move on
I’m not strong enough
To walk away from a Valkyrie
Hopefully Odin would understand
How does one turn down perfection
Despite how much pain
It might cause
How does one cast away a glance
As trivial
When you suddenly see a flash
Of your universe inside
Many may understand
And hopefully one day
I’ll clear the fog
And grasp the concept
Hopefully I’ll understand
Your fear
