Melancholy Moments

"And so being young and dipped in folly, 
                                            I fell in love with melancholy..."
                                                                        -Edgar Allan Poe
 


Despondent and dismal I’ve gone extinct,
    goodbye to hope, sadness has become grace.
        MELANCHOLY MOMENTS, I take a drink
            cuz’ I can’t forget the look on your face...
               as you held me during our last embrace-
               I lay in woe and drown in addiction,
            but no drug can take away affliction.
        Morose and disappointed I must cry,
    sorrow has become my best constriction-
MELANCHOLY MOMENTS, I hope to die.

Well done, Laura, and the layout accentuates the theme of the poem as well. I'm glad this is fiction and not your true feelings. Hugs to You !!

Oh, blow me away as dust taken by wind - I know the feeling. Thank goodness such gray has not been mine in quite a while and I have not scheduled any for the future. HA - like I'm in charge. Good lines of fierce, pain expression seeking escape and release ... CayCay
