Melancholy

The saddest thing….searching for those elusive tender compassionate memories That are yours, attained from personal experience and introverted appreciation Finding them gone Erased by infectious negative magnetic and depressing events and feelings Leaving you with a deep hollow cold area in your mind Confusing, knowing in your heart of hearts you revisited these precious places before And experienced their warmth and comfort at times until the winding path of life finds more, more of these moments Now they fall into the hollow place, disappearing into the dark pit bellow without a trace As you wait for the sound of happiness hitting the bottom, lost forever.
