Melancholy

Sweet Melancholy, you come once more
To knock upon my very door
To grant me things that I must tell
That in your bosom I must dwell
~
In the middle of the night you came
You spoke your words, you called my name
You woke me from my dreaming sleep
I wrote your words. Them I did keep
~
I don't know what you want of me
I bid you leave and let me be
You bring no solace to this soul
I only wish to be but whole
~
Why did you wake me from my sleep
I was in slumber, oh so deep
Is there a lesson you wish to show
More for me I need to know ?
~
If I lie quiet, will I hear
The falling of another tear
Or of the voice that haunts my head
Telling me that love is dead
~
So if in your bosom I must rest
Be gentle with my soul unless
It breaks and shatters and tears apart
Leaving desolate this broken heart
