Melancholy

Melancholy This next one I write is for you For the all the ugly things you put me through To know the gradual decay of my eyes Into stainless steel To know the ghosts that linger in all we feel For all the damage we did to each other For every time we braved the stormy weather Together we severed ties to past regrets Why did we wage a war and laid our bets My friends take my side and yours take yours So many ugly truths about you and I from before So many things that I will never be to you So many melancholy memories you never put me through Forget who we were cause my name has changed Our love was great but it lacked a proper range I moved out of your view; far, far away from you I never needed truth; just all the lovely things you used to do
