The Ocean of Melancholy

Blair Stella Flynn

The calendar on my table says it’s September 22nd
The day I will forever remember, for me, it was destined
Indeed, today is the day I was dead and buried twice
It is the day I sent my wonderful grandmother to the afterlife
She was always so nice and gave me a lot of advice
Knowing that I will never see her again makes me cry
Unexpectedly she died, I couldn’t even say a goodbye 
And while I was mourning for her on its second anniversary 
I learned that I lost the love of my life eternally 
He found himself a mesmerizing bride-to-be
And knelt on before a beautiful girl who is not me
I am getting drowned in the ocean of melancholy 
Feeling heartsick, no pulse to check, pathetic 
All I see is pitch blackness, this pain is so magnetic 
To my heart, it is attached, doesn’t leave my body
Isn’t there anyone to save me from this strong tsunami?
Here I am, drowning, dying in the ocean of melancholy 
Searching for some light, some hope, some happiness 
Ever since that day all of my nights have been sleepless
Blanking out this miserable day is all I need
Today is the day I was dead and buried twice, indeed
Isn’t there anyone to make me forget all about it?
