Eyes had turned hollow
All glitter had vanished
Held neither curiosity
Nor iota of hope
Shadows subdued the sun
Tears warmed his laps
He felt guilty
And dirty
Punishment
Strain and drain seeped
Into his flesh and bones
Reducing him into a corpse
He wished to burn all memories
Memories of his fertile mind
Those he hoped would flower
Now they hid behind his eyelids
He wished to let go of all the pain
Wished it to be so easy
Like opening eyes
But it wasn’t
Eyes shut, he conjured the image
Its presence wouldn’t fail him
Had never failed him
It steadied his senses
He recalled the image
It noticed him
Understood
Responded
Sound were soft
Murmuring
Enticing
Urging
Lulled him into security

Trying to make an effort of highlighting what goes in the mind of a person struggling with some kind of mental disorder. It is often lonely, scary and intense experience. In most cases, such individuals create imaginary friends through objects or people to feel centered.

Good subject matter, but the concept was lost by me when I read the poem. It might help in a future to treat the imaginary character as if it is a real character to be disclosed as fake in the last stanza or something like that. The character as of right now exist in the head than it does conveyed on paper. Keep writing!

I felt the loneliness and fear coming through. And how many go to a safe place in their minds in order to feel calm and security. I wanted to thank you for stopping by and reading my post, Just Friends. I appreciate it.
