Melancholy Maze

A long lost love flickers and fades A page turned, a memory stored, in this theatrical drama of life Lonely thoughts overcome reason Another failure to obey the powerful and remain the blissful oppressed An action taken under guise A siege is enacted to tear down the walls that stand so tall Fading senses and forgotten tastes A longing, a pining, for the unknown only obtained by the unhappy Forever talks of whim and wines Struggling peons abound, tilling the earth for worthless scraps An eerie tale of carrion crows in foggy vales Cannibalistic cravings never satiated, and never replaced
