Melancholy



Melancholy is a pain we all must bear,
A slash that cuts us deep and leaves us bare,
It's a storm that tempers in our souls,
And deserts us feeling lost and out of control.
 
We endeavor to move on and leave the past behind,
But the memories lodges in our heart and mind,
Wonder we if we'll ever heal,
If we'll ever find a feeling that doesn’t peel
 
So, if your melancholy makes you feel broken and alone,
Just remember that you're not on your own,
Melancholy is something that we all go through,
And love is waiting to come back to you.
