II. Melancholic222Please respect copyright.PENANAinXnSQgUQG
222Please respect copyright.PENANABxJUGCtQJ3
when it came time for sleep222Please respect copyright.PENANAhPVv0nrpVZ
he had already accepted222Please respect copyright.PENANAaAtUkonA8j
that it wouldn’t be a sweet dream222Please respect copyright.PENANA71fy9DvZ3j
for there was never a night222Please respect copyright.PENANAyfhlEXOKzQ
in which he slept sweetly222Please respect copyright.PENANAJfmednIdxf
in which his eyes didn’t sting222Please respect copyright.PENANA9Ky1vfy7MU
in which his body didn’t throb222Please respect copyright.PENANA43Y7Ck7Wok
in which he wasn’t a zombie222Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZMqJS5ETu
he hates to be awake222Please respect copyright.PENANAPRiWFkVYve
he wants to be asleep222Please respect copyright.PENANAts5AHenSs6
In the heap of a mess222Please respect copyright.PENANApktVfGvmsM
the young man rests222Please respect copyright.PENANALLKLHieVKv
his back against the box spring mattress222Please respect copyright.PENANAjRswM1wEo0
underneath the dreary light222Please respect copyright.PENANA4cCmlPpctm
of a circular ceiling orb222Please respect copyright.PENANAHbLnpmGVVC
intricately measured to be equally hung222Please respect copyright.PENANAAI4eT63vkm
centered between the four walls222Please respect copyright.PENANAJSmgzuYBkN
enclosing around him222Please respect copyright.PENANAHJPj3zQXgo
the small, box-like room222Please respect copyright.PENANARQLuK9NFAh
a little room crowded with too many things222Please respect copyright.PENANA0SnLXxc8sP
full of everything222Please respect copyright.PENANAjFXLkfsK78
littered amongst the carpet222Please respect copyright.PENANAclBJqNIqIb
there is books222Please respect copyright.PENANA1sFUuupZ6X
there is paintings222Please respect copyright.PENANAoMO3pFVSea
there is wrappers and trash222Please respect copyright.PENANAiQmMYFuoUh
things are stacked and things are hanging222Please respect copyright.PENANAJG8jCGhhLa
they're placed and leaning on edges222Please respect copyright.PENANAb3LHfVo3y4
things are covered222Please respect copyright.PENANAAeGD3AasT8
and hidden222Please respect copyright.PENANADQLEWhRMVc
and tottering on ledges222Please respect copyright.PENANAjLiG0KdPyQ
and eight or nine blankets222Please respect copyright.PENANA22VLdQ7qj2
are piled atop one another222Please respect copyright.PENANA9aPQ8IYr9a
heavy on himself, on his bed222Please respect copyright.PENANABOcrRfVSsA
falling onto the floor222Please respect copyright.PENANAn3VwDO8buv
like a nest of distraction and222Please respect copyright.PENANAl1OfZNmROQ
bullshit222Please respect copyright.PENANAAwn6UzU3YG
and shadows222Please respect copyright.PENANA9nwFTGZQgf
there are things invisible he can’t see222Please respect copyright.PENANAHSzIvdAJA4
there is always the fear222Please respect copyright.PENANAvjQGRS84tO
they hide in the darkness222Please respect copyright.PENANAHaMlEBi6wH
and are hard not to run into222Please respect copyright.PENANAcPPnHkSANq
There is a concentration222Please respect copyright.PENANAgPu6SPVerf
to the paranoia222Please respect copyright.PENANAUgZgOrlJ3E
and he maneuvers about the stuffed space222Please respect copyright.PENANAZM6O1ya7KP
like he’s looking for that something unseen222Please respect copyright.PENANAtcgEA7RPlT
Don’t let everything fall!222Please respect copyright.PENANAEKJFx6wusv
like a plea222Please respect copyright.PENANAPhyjkPPYpp
he is trudging on through222Please respect copyright.PENANAWg8AznjhoA
and heaving and slumping222Please respect copyright.PENANA9q4dzebnKN
what used to feel safe222Please respect copyright.PENANAnscZjNszGG
like hearth222Please respect copyright.PENANA7FFWe00Fo8
but now feels engulfed in ice222Please respect copyright.PENANAVzMLYosU3Y
Don’t let it all come collapsing down!222Please respect copyright.PENANAsHxA1BdxrP
He won’t be able to do this much longer222Please respect copyright.PENANAaxE9KfeHY6
to dance around all of the unseeable darkness222Please respect copyright.PENANAEfuv44SJrg
that smells artificially sweet222Please respect copyright.PENANAumXiOvwCfm
and burnt222Please respect copyright.PENANAz7W1jFcoDD
because of the flickering wicks222Please respect copyright.PENANAR4VlQXXACr
he has three candles lit222Please respect copyright.PENANAHHXcYikCwv
their flame tricking his mind into thinking he’s warm222Please respect copyright.PENANAo1j1ggAZuq
for a second222Please respect copyright.PENANA0Rz3dhdy38
like a fire is inside him222Please respect copyright.PENANAEQWZLrKKk5
but alas it's cold outside222Please respect copyright.PENANAFAK0Bz9GDH
and the storm has raged all through the night222Please respect copyright.PENANAgf8s7cpUws
The rain falls222Please respect copyright.PENANAOlglzqLRCG
against the small window222Please respect copyright.PENANAsSWu6BfLf8
in redundant tap-tap-taps222Please respect copyright.PENANATWuL5zqTMf
and he attempts to count222Please respect copyright.PENANAIXMnrHGn6P
how many drops fall222Please respect copyright.PENANAZJDGLEmQcL
against the pane222Please respect copyright.PENANAFaqBVWG4fP
and quickly loses his place222Please respect copyright.PENANAJQk5DBbRl2
and while he enjoys hearing cars drive down the wet road222Please respect copyright.PENANA6om4XnLEQd
beyond his walls as he writes222Please respect copyright.PENANAmqGPVN88DD
he wants to sleep222Please respect copyright.PENANANGpfIoW1rB
He is alone and contemplative222Please respect copyright.PENANAtHLIcAfNsv
about how it feels to fall222Please respect copyright.PENANAMhBdhYnZVQ
into the insecurity and uncomfortability222Please respect copyright.PENANA3mkT3Uoh4Z
of itchy, scarred skin222Please respect copyright.PENANAWRfo08icbw
his brain is screaming because his mind is ramming itself222Please respect copyright.PENANAB9h4dz8HVa
against the walls222Please respect copyright.PENANABBXnAriXyp
of the skull222Please respect copyright.PENANARF17nHnLgN
He’s hung a sheet on the blinds222Please respect copyright.PENANApLxFKbU1se
to block the breath of night222Please respect copyright.PENANAJbNv7Xc8WJ
yet it's still coming in222Please respect copyright.PENANAHUpz5DI2Wv
like a frosted wind222Please respect copyright.PENANAURTIh6wLLt
seeping through the glass222Please respect copyright.PENANAOwpsCnEKJU
of his windows222Please respect copyright.PENANA4wEDTX9yOV
and the pores of his walls222Please respect copyright.PENANAuHVjkJQno6
breathing over the carpet222Please respect copyright.PENANAh3B9p7Mpio
and icing the scene with ghostly222Please respect copyright.PENANAgRNMep9FpV
cold222Please respect copyright.PENANAum5Xm5lT63
crushing him while he’s awake222Please respect copyright.PENANANx8IdOH9JO
the air is too cold222Please respect copyright.PENANAX7z7KWOrd6
and its weighing him down222Please respect copyright.PENANAnq5WRfTIi5
he cannot make out what is in front of him222Please respect copyright.PENANAVIHE50HELH
with depression like lightning222Please respect copyright.PENANAYMXMXzcSx7
striking overhead222Please respect copyright.PENANA3BqWQw2MlV
bursting222Please respect copyright.PENANA8eoosx0bIq
and splitting his ears with thunder rumbling222Please respect copyright.PENANAl71elz5xGF
and he chokes on his throat222Please respect copyright.PENANAdYXQaW8h8Y
he is paralyzed in vulnerability222Please respect copyright.PENANAkn6rSlUZ4k
his muffled gargles222Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pxweui7KL
left unheard222Please respect copyright.PENANAYDiWPUOWk5
he can’t move his eyes that are bulging222Please respect copyright.PENANACI5GBBV5J2
and his color is changing222Please respect copyright.PENANAGLqu20hygS
darker and darker222Please respect copyright.PENANAMh3hSmZATN
in horror222Please respect copyright.PENANAkezZNpzHvk
he forgets how to breathe222Please respect copyright.PENANAKSKVnBbAJF
and his head rushes with blue222Please respect copyright.PENANAfjry3EtSAM
and then darker222Please respect copyright.PENANArRGd7Mp0Lp
for a trapped, dying expression222Please respect copyright.PENANADlroRomlbd
He is more and more222Please respect copyright.PENANAG3LswTe1M3
unable222Please respect copyright.PENANAgl3gDU2dhg
to struggle against222Please respect copyright.PENANAEuAtaiJKho
the darkness222Please respect copyright.PENANAMEQAW1YZVV
he feels inhuman222Please respect copyright.PENANA8Lbm4pAohM
He thinks of how dreamy it would be222Please respect copyright.PENANA0m0SJ6OxRH
to have no shadows222Please respect copyright.PENANAZUmD2L4yzj
and to encounter a hero inside222Please respect copyright.PENANA9wVbTkgefw
to put an end to all of the darkness222Please respect copyright.PENANAD1J3YHIPn6
that keeps him useless222Please respect copyright.PENANAsUTzoranxM
under the heavy, cold air222Please respect copyright.PENANAeB3oZ5TKvz
but he realizes he has nothing left222Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jb0NWh6gr
and his love is lost on those that he loves222Please respect copyright.PENANAal5kjkuwyT
for they have not given him their hearts222Please respect copyright.PENANAqBmrhIghvz
and he breaks his itchy skin222Please respect copyright.PENANAvW3TwqbLAu
because he’s angry with who he’s been222Please respect copyright.PENANAOExqFTDGZs
and they don’t seem to care222Please respect copyright.PENANARcRvsLcvoR
so he thinks he’s wasted his time222Please respect copyright.PENANAI7lqgLKpAD
and they can go fuck themselves222Please respect copyright.PENANAXGfmnMuBwU
because he doesn't want the affection222Please respect copyright.PENANAXBNgkg95Jd
and he doesn’t need the attention222Please respect copyright.PENANALSFtmTBuBo
from someone who doesn’t love him222Please respect copyright.PENANAuGhWgTTQLi
You don’t need them222Please respect copyright.PENANAIxCXczfNBU
You won’t have any of them222Please respect copyright.PENANA1bNU03chzl
Bring light upon the dark yourself222Please respect copyright.PENANAAsQhagWiZI
He tells himself222Please respect copyright.PENANAO6pylKtxOU
there is a way to become healthy222Please respect copyright.PENANAkB6qHzWQQO
to be warm and bright222Please respect copyright.PENANAoSoIInygjo
but whether due to fate or choice222Please respect copyright.PENANAAv5LOeu9KR
he has been led down a melancholic path222Please respect copyright.PENANAQuH9BxhyBW
and dark thoughts disrupt him
