"melancholy" a Sonnet

Steven Louis Chapman

Forever beating me,
tiny captions of hurt,
wrote on melancholy,
black bile turned into dirt.

She wasn't she to be,
stumble, I've fell to bits,
wrote on melancholy,
now I have made my trip.

On my last broken daze,
the letters spill on me,
all in my bastard haze,
wrote on melancholy.

She wasn't she to be,
wrote on melancholy.

I am sorry for repeating the versus but, this is written as a song as well as a Sonnet.
