My eyes see in a monochrome light, a vivid world of grey.
Thoughts jumbled and troubled, caught in a caricature of a play.
A melancholy melody, humming through the shadows of my soul.
This symphony of sorrow, echoing, no joy can it cajole
Whispers of a silent woe, dancing with the ghosts of past.
The silence of this madness, a dark rite that seems to last.
A haunting echo of memories, clinging to my heart like moss
This soulless sound of emptiness, the tragedy of loss
Troubled tones heard underneath, a waltz with thoughts to dark
A bittersweet embrace, with life's empty spaces left so stark
Melancholy whispers in the hollow of the night's embrace
Lost in memories shadows, longing for some restful grace.
