The Land of Melancholy
Standing at the brink
Shadowed in the light
Cast away and aside
Like a worn toy
Use is at end
Cast aside useless
Worthless, torn
Alone, lost
At the end of all things
When all is over and done
The tides turned
The moon held high
Heads bowed in shame
Tears drawn behind eyes
Secrets whispered in the mist
Eyes revealing all of the heart
Alone, alone, so very alone
Shadowed by grief, so lost
Companions, none
Family, never
Love, once before
Gone, gone!
All around nothingness
Blank, dismal
A wide space of hell
Not a soul, not a being of life
To walk forever
A shadow, just a shadow
Dearest shadow
Whatever happened to us both?
To be brought down to such a level
A level of condemnation and doubt
Yet shadow, here we are
Together, alone
Forever, just us, a pair
What a life we once had
Full of vigor and sprite
Yet, dear shadow
Here we are in the end
Memories bring only sadness
Stretching the hole inside
So, together, let's forget
Forget the happiness
Forget the joy
Forget it all...
And live in this melancholy
Now and forever more
