Melancholy

MELANCHOLY

No mortal sadness, no honest pain
No depression, sure no feign
Not quite like autumn or like rain
Melancholy

It’s an undefined desire
Feeling low yearning to get higher
Like an insurmountable fire
Melancholy

It’s always longing for, so bad
Striving endless, yet never had
The ‘what if’ thoughts, making sad
Melancholy

It’s sorrow because of volatility
Knowing troubles are essentially
bound up with humanity
Melancholy

It’s you and I, if only we could…
Maybe shouldn’t, maybe should
live our dreams…. or regret for good
Melancholy
