Melancholy in Reverse

Contributed by UrbanFlower on Monday, 3rd August 2009 @ 07:49:59 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



Shake out my melancholy.
Leave me out to dry.
Utterly exposed,
Elementally profound.

There is nothing more you can drag from me,
The worst of me on show,
You’ll find no objection in my eyes,
I am here,
Take me to where the light shines.

Lay down beside me.
See right through me.
I am glass to your stone.
Believe that this is real,
Dare to live, for one night only.

Pretend the truth does not exist.
Each lie shakes a fragment of my soul.
No haze of doubt.
Nothing but translucent beauty in the night,
Our lives on show.

Just a kiss.
Five years in the making,
A second from ruin,
Place your hand in mine.
I’ll help you through the night.

Take away the beat,
I’ll cease to exist.
A figment of your imagination.
I was just your melancholy.

My heck, this went right through me.
Incredible verse here, one I think we relate to as well.
