Melancholy Song

Melancholy Song

The evening sky turns shades of gray,
Another dream just slips away.
A quiet ache, a heavy sigh,
A thousand questions with no reply.

The autumn leaves drift through the air,
They fall like moments we can’t repair.
I trace the echoes of your name,
But all that lingers is the pain.

Melancholy—soft and slow,
A river where my sorrows flow.
A tender grief I can’t disguise,
A fading light behind my eyes.

The stars above refuse to shine,
Their glow once warm, no longer mine.
A hollow song, a fading flame,
A lonely heart I cannot tame.

Melancholy—soft and slow,
A river where my sorrows flow.
A tender grief I can’t disguise,
A fading light behind my eyes.

If joy could come, if time could mend,
Would broken pieces find an end?
Or am I bound to always be,
A shadow lost in memory?

Melancholy—ever near,
A gentle song I always hear.
Through every tear, through every sigh,
It sings to me, it won’t say goodbye.
