Melancholia

...just when everything wants to fall apart

Lively are my lips, 
But my soul won’t sing; 
My heart beats rhythm, 
But the notes fail to ring. 

Winter says goodbye, 
At the breath of spring; 
My eyes though deny, 
To see the light it brings. 

Love is there, it shines, 
Opens its door to all; 
But I blind myself, 
To be a lonely soul. 

Perfect are my ears, 
But they won’t heed a call; 
Shadows veil the fears, 
In which I hide my all.
