melancholy baby

 
melancholy days, you whisper gently, it's okay babe
it's overcast today, the grey rolls in with the clouds, and my sorrow begins
an emptiness of feeling, or perhaps feelings that overwhelm

silently, I sing to my loneliness
sorrow listens, quietly
we make a pair, in the gloom

my love I want to reach out to you
but my glimmer has faded
my shininess dimmed

I've slipped, deep within
where no sound escapes
my love for you complete, I fear

surrendering to the emotions, I fall in
despair a companion I know, intimately
caressing the noiton, I could lose you

I'm unsure what I'd do, beautiful soul
sinking in my heart
I'm afraid the grey would swallow me, utterly

enteres the fear of being, closer
to hold onto a dream
you're too good to me

the feelings relent and I smile
happy in the moment
knowing pain will come and go

easy days in the sun
hard ones in the cold
that would be colder without you
