Sweet Melancholy

A little bit empty

A little more insecure

This sweet elixir only magnifies it more

 

One, two, seven, nine...

I think I've lost count

I should take another sip

Fall deeper into decay

 

A little bit lost

A lot more confused

But mostly numb

 

One, two, seven, nine...

I'm not sure anymore

Sip by sip, breath by breath

Maybe this poison will revive my heart

 

Beautiful moments always pass so quickly

If only I could capture them with my lips

And hug them with my heart

 

As feelings fade into melacholy

Your eyes will never dance upon this face again

Only in photographs and memories 

As I restore myself on the coast of somewhere beautiful

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It is what it is. Hope you enjoy.

I love your imagery.

I love your imagery. Sometimes I write poems about things, people, places and feelings I wish to remember. And the years later when I go back to read them I'm transported back to that place in time.

Kinda heartbreaking... I

Kinda heartbreaking...


I think you posted it twice with two different names by the way.
