Melancholy

by Baby Rainbow   Feb 3, 2013


Devastation
washes over me
with a sombre sponge
and a cracked pail
of anguished water.

Hope is destroyed
as I am left
broken-hearted
with a feverish guilt
of what I have done.

Ebony water
turns vastly
into black ice
and I am
trapped beneath.

Disconsolate,
blood running cold,
my skin turns
whiter than snow.

Unreachable,
I am alone
as I slowly sink
further and
further away

into a place
I will never be found.

    Drowning into the depths...where even secrets will never be told, Saffie, it makes me colder, I felt like I'm dying in the depths too...so sad the way I figure it out. Good job.

    Oh Saffie...
    I am thinking, as I read this...how many times I've felt lost, like I cannot be found and at times, didn't want to...

    Many events leave us feeling like we've failed, like we should not have tried, and will never try again, but we must always find the courage that's there, because it is, and sometimes, we learn enough just to try again...sometimes

    I love the simpleness of the structure, how it lasts long enough for you to feel but not too long that you get lost...

    Really heartbreaking but a piece that we can relate to here,
