Melancholy

Cold
Distant from the world
A solitary confinement to deception
Nothing to feel, nothing to say
Words trapped in the back of my throat
Slowly suffocating its victim
Hands shaking, heart breaking
All just a dream turned into reality
Can’t go back now

Icy glares and empty faces
Don’t fill the space that’s left behind

Deliberate, tactless actions
Leaves one in silent anguish
That comes too soon in time
I can’t ever face you again
For recognition of each memory
Makes me more despondent
As the day turns to eternal night
The breath of hope slowly fades away;
Just wash away the pain

Numb from being without feeling
Turn back the hands of time

Comprehension is inconceivable
The dissonance resides with frustration
The shadows are closing in
Heartless corpse of disconsolation
As my soul disintegrates
From the inevitable truth
That has yet again
Come to deceive me…
