Melancholy Rose

“The years go by, there's always someone new; to try and help me forget about you”
 
Your empathy…I truly understand
Spirit and flesh between Heaven and Earth
Competing thoughts we dismiss out of hand
Why must you chase a ghost to prove your worth?
 
Time heals all wounds, and scars are forever
Conversation leads to complication
Some memories not meant to share ever
My sacred scars become your distraction
 
Melancholy dissonance in our notes
Mismatched lyrics your pretense actuary  
Memories; what I feel within the quotes
Melodic keys to my sanctuary
 
And thorny is a melancholy rose
Love like no other, neither ever knows
