Burying love alive

Melancholia

My love is buried 

In a grave of silence

A vessel emptied 

Deep underground

Never to be found

 

Tied up with a chain

Forever abandoned

Screaming in pain

Always loud enough 

To stay in my brain

 

A stain that spreads

So quickly in my head

Threatens my thoughts

Clouds my vision

But I don’t wanna listen

 

I mute my feelings

Creating a vacuum

But you know I’m failing

Just look at my writings

My suffering is scaling

 

No way back, no way out

No answer, only doubt

Was I wrong to not condone

Leaving our shared path

Just to end up

All alone?
