Melancholy

 Melancholy 

Damn darkness envelope me

Careless shadows grinned at me

Where to hide, where to flee?

Hope is nothing, but still a far entity. 

Oh! The fire of destruction 

Pouring onto us like a mad rain

When are we going to live?

Beyond this death garden. 

Those huge butterflies, spit danger 

Merciless eyes staring there 

How can we cry aloud?

Even silence is keeping quiet. 

Light seems to forgot us

Sympathy sits there alone 

What are you looking for dear?

Stop searching, it's a losing sport.
