Melancholy

Melancholy

The sad is just a little bit more sad
When all emotions are sharpened by that one
Heightened sense of excitement
Anger
Happiness
Like my heart just got glasses and now feels
Everything just a little more clear

I need to sleep
To dream
To soak in the darkness and forget the rest

Waiting for words to pour easily
Free flowing with feeling not thinking
Full of passion

And after that reenactment in my brain
He notices the melancholy and wonders why

I dare not reveal the source
Of my
Intense melancholy.
