Midnight Melancoly

A free write.

Why?

Why out of everything,

Out of the light and beauty,

Out of the incandescent rays of life

Must it crawl?

Heavy weight drains below my eyes

As I fantasize

Everything I dare not see.

A sharp weight on my chest

And I express

What I should not be.

Stranger to my eyes, 

Stranger to my seas,

Please leave me be!

Your touch burns my mind

And brands my face

It destroys everything behind,

Every beautiful twist

Of fate...

I see you standing at my gate

Beckoning to enter,

I am not strong enough

To hold back the doors

As you storm inside,

As always, I can never hide.

My shield has left my side

And this time I feel

The melancholy,

Bitter melody,

Leaking through my eyes

And down from my skin

As it burns its way through;

Scars left behind, 

Tears of claws through my heart...

Why?

Dear life, why?
