Semi-bad depression poetry?


Love-joy?


Love. Joy.
Finally someone who listened.

Honest. True.
Finally someone who knew the real me.

Acceptance. Devotion.
Finally someone who didn't back away.

I thought.

The pain
Raw, fresh
burning in my soul
Happy?
you should be.
You got what you wanted,
You got it your way.

Was I really just a game?
A summer fascination?
Disposable, forgettable?

You say, it's time to move on
It'd just be awkward
Why?
You didn't.
Even.
ask me, does my opinion not matter?
I wonder. Do you even
hurt?
I wonder. Do you even
think of me?

Just leave me behind
I'm glad it's that easy for you.
You left me.

You left me.
Easily. As if it was
Nothing.

Thanks – you taught me
Love

Thanks – you showed me
Pain

Thanks – you told me
I'll miss you.

How can I believe?

the short sentences give this a bluntness and finality just as the relationship found its finality. Well structured and presented. I don't see any bad poetry -semi or otherwise. Perhaps you were referring to the depression as semi-bad. If so, only you can determine that.
