I can’t tell you how hard it seems,
This newly “wedded bliss.”
Depression takes the place of dreams.
Already come to this?
I give Me up and put Me out;
I wrap myself in you.
But losing Me, without a doubt
I never want to do.
I can’t go out or anywhere,
Unless you’re there with me.
I have so many things to share
With others, can’t you see?
You pledge your faith; you speak of trust.
But you don’t seem to know.
For me this love will turn to dust
If you don’t let me go!

This line stood out for me: “Depression takes the place of dreams” I like how you picked words that alliterate to express the contrast. Nice sound throughout!
