Melancholia

It’s a heartbroken person Permanently sad The dark thoughts worsen They’ll drive you mad It’s a million different colors They blend together as one You can’t explain to the others So you give up and run It’s nowhere and everywhere You can’t ever break free The world you saw once was rare Now you’re waiting for the right time to flee It’s complex and never ending Leaving you broken and damaged honest and real but always pretending Taking in more, but it can manage It’s a knife to your throat An unspoken but ever present danger Drowning in sorrows, trying to stay afloat Someone pushing you in, an eerie stranger It’s an everlasting promise A whisper in the dark Staying up late watching for comets By yourself at the park It’s suffocating claustrophobia Locking you up and throwing away the key The deep and hollow melancholia Is all you’ll ever be
