I wish you could see
the spectre of depression
haunting my days…
dragging his knuckles
through the miry muck
and leaving a trail
of icy numbness behind.

(Poetry by Maranda Russell, marandarussell.com)

I understand the darkness of depression as it affects a loved one. I sometimes feel the icy chill.

  I’m sorry to hear that they suffer as well.
