Melancholia

False promises

No firework, no flame

Just a river

Carrying your name

 

A calm melody

Singing, slowly flowing

Forcing my heart to heal

By showing me 

How honest love can feel

 

Nurturing the life

That grows inside 

It feels so refreshing

Not having to hide

 

There may be plenty of fish in the sea

But I chose you from the swarm

The decision is beyond easy

Your embrace feels so warm

 

Can I stay in your arms forever?

I whisper with sparkling eyes

Ready for a shared adventure

Let me be your home, your protector

 

Suddenly blue turns red

Left behind in an empty bed

You’re too afraid, you said

With a voice so alarmingly dead

 

A loving gaze, once light

Turns into a heavy stare

Your sweet smile, once bright

Now makes my chest feel tight

 

I can’t take it anymore

How could I have overlooked

Beneath the safe and caring surface

Lies no ocean

There hides a moor
