Near Death Melancholy

A WISTFUL look on once a jolly face 
You can feel the pain in her grimace 
Her WITHDRAWN heart in SHROUD of GRIM
Seems to dim her muffled scream 

A chronic state of MELANCHOLY 
Seems to worsen her agony 
The FEELINGS mix inside of her 
She can't just hold them altogether 

Her GLOOMY face reflects her pain  
Long time she wished for kiss of rain 
To wash away her somber DEPRESSION
So she can live without agitation 

May the sky, checkered in gray 
Grant her wishes as she'll pray 
So the light of bright tomorrow 
Will melt away her pain and sorrow
