"melancholy" a Sonnet
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.
