Melancholy
enveloped by darkness, from a surge of sadness
my emotions drop away to this darker realm
where I find a swirling madness of gloom
and the depth of somber is found
I become a broken twisted world
where my mind retreats
and flees from life's shattered shards
whose sharp edges cut the tendrils of illusion
leaving nothing but silence
that holds me a captive, numb to this space
so dark, so quiet
where I begin to understand
what foreboding feels like
