My Melancholy

In the moments of my melancholy

Every happiness is lost

And every memory of better times

Fades into darkness

In the moment of my melancholy

I lose all knowledge of your love

In the moment of my melancholy

You don’t love me, I am sad and alone

I believe this with all my heart

In the moment of my melancholy

It won’t matter that a moment before

I was happy or that a moment later

I will be happy again

In the moment of my melancholy

Everything is black and sad

And you are the artist who has made it so

It is in the moment of my melancholy

That I plot revenge against you

For ills real or imagined

It is in the moments of my melancholy

That I plot to hurt you

Even though when I hurt you

I hurt myself too

It is the moments of my melancholy

That kill our love

It is the moments of my melancholy

That I need you to save me from

Wake Up From Love

Wake up from love and see the signs

You likely were dancing all alone

Wake up from love, the dream is gone

In reality you’re on your own.

The birds that sang so sweetly

When love was love

Lie dead now, under the sand.

The flowers that filled the air with scent

And made the kisses taste so sweet

Lie wilted on the ground

Wake up, love is not love

Love is the yen for what cannot be

What has never been

No two people were ever one

No two separate wholes ever became  

Halves of one perfect whole

Love is an illusion, the greatest delusion

To ever afflict the mind of man
