MELANCHOLY by assurer

Melancholy like a thoughtful lake. Forbidding no talent to pierce.
Melancholy like I don't want to be bothered.
Melancholy like I've only got two words to give. Or two sentences.
Melancholy like I'm tired of wearing those glistening faces.

Melancholy like I want to pull the hoodie over my skull.
Melancholy like I wanna read Golding till I fall asleep.
Melancholy like I disdain your sob poetry.
Melancholy like I find laughter too late, and it goes too quick.

Melancholy like I hear the soft whispers of a lonely tear when the world goes quiet.
Melancholy like I'm only reminded of love when children laugh.
Melancholy like I hurt in moments I should forget.

Melancholy like blue, howling to moon - moon the color of bones.
Melancholy like black bile.
Melancholy like Cole's new music is poison to my dampness.
Melancholy like it's lovely all the same.

Melancholy like we're too in love with the rhythms of quiet world.
But it makes us listen too deeply--
To the musings of pain.
