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.
