the melancholy still lingers on...
as blue as my heart and just as lonely.
it wants me for company, i want it for comfort.
i allowed that seed to grow into a tree,
and the branches arent all gone & the leaves have not yet fallen
DIE
but it stays alive.
digging its root deep into my soul
concealing the sun, bringing no warmth
tricking me, taking me down.
i have been you, it tells me.
i am you, it says.
you are not me. you are not real.
you are a dream that seized control, that kept me low, that never left..
