Sensory Depression
Depression is dark grey.
It sounds like empty promises whispered to unsuspecting ears.
It smells like once-fresh food rotting after moons of disregard.
It tastes like the very last bite of a raspberry-infused truffle.
It looks like a heavy blanket of fog, slowly spreading to remove everything beautiful from sight.
Depression feels like a distant corner of the world, a great disconnect from all things living.

Perfectly described in all its tremendous reality. You've used excellent attributes. The only thing I would have done is avoid repeating the word depression. But I respect your choice, because I believe that poetry should be left to the source. That makes it possible to feel all the power of the emotions. So please take my words as a view and not as criticism. Well done. Beautiful ink. J

Understood! Repetition takes away for me too most of the time, but was trying to follow sensory format. Thank you for the comment! It is much appreciated.

No worries. I loved it, because I felt it. So you got the reaction you wanted. Mine was only a suggestion. The way it is makes it just as beautiful.

The last bite of a raspberry truffle is sadness that the truffle will then be gone and one will be forced to pine for the next. Do try one though!
