Melancholia

 

Disappointment

mantles me with grief,

realization cold and hard,

for Silence is the rule,

there is no breaking through

~ Fall In Line ~

my very breath of life

freezes

my words

in your presence,

stopped cold

literally

by the ice in your eyes

and the turn of your heart

~ Fall In Line ~

I have to wonder, as I wander

lost on streets so dark and still,

why

why

why

~ Fall In Line ~

or

walk alone

so alone

alone I walk

as midnight fades

into memories made

of solitude and pain;

melancholia in nostalgia

for once so tightly bound

no shadows cast

no sliver came between,

no icy stare

no Silence demanded,

now

when only shadows come

away away they steal

every rose colored memory

of beauty and light

when breathing was easy

and my words were free

now all is stolen

stolen away

I am left with my empty footsteps

and just an echoed hum

can you ever

for I can never

~ Fall In Line ~
