II. Melancholic268Please respect copyright.PENANAiNZ9gaksuL
268Please respect copyright.PENANAorc2WuT6kE
when it came time for sleep268Please respect copyright.PENANAayB8f4P7FH
he had already accepted268Please respect copyright.PENANAQjK6ut6qYl
that it wouldn’t be a sweet dream268Please respect copyright.PENANARf4gmUbTlB
for there was never a night268Please respect copyright.PENANAD6Js7sjd0X
in which he slept sweetly268Please respect copyright.PENANA1IaxfQqx5n
in which his eyes didn’t sting268Please respect copyright.PENANAyrjM8bmhwW
in which his body didn’t throb268Please respect copyright.PENANAjd0sv4dZda
in which he wasn’t a zombie268Please respect copyright.PENANA13La7EwLkU
he hates to be awake268Please respect copyright.PENANAbLDwVwXLTN
he wants to be asleep268Please respect copyright.PENANAQl3MwYctU6
In the heap of a mess268Please respect copyright.PENANAJyxW4kyZdf
the young man rests268Please respect copyright.PENANAXnW3OWs0Tt
his back against the box spring mattress268Please respect copyright.PENANAo1wuU25lY1
underneath the dreary light268Please respect copyright.PENANAxAmcGpjTFC
of a circular ceiling orb268Please respect copyright.PENANAdQSu2JThr4
intricately measured to be equally hung268Please respect copyright.PENANAKtQc3e3iyv
centered between the four walls268Please respect copyright.PENANA7U9OqhJRaU
enclosing around him268Please respect copyright.PENANAfRvkNWXrDL
the small, box-like room268Please respect copyright.PENANArZjpsBgYr3
a little room crowded with too many things268Please respect copyright.PENANAiS6TTQfjnk
full of everything268Please respect copyright.PENANA9hA8Q7qXXs
littered amongst the carpet268Please respect copyright.PENANAfW1eNxCwMJ
there is books268Please respect copyright.PENANA9oAwf4Gnfy
there is paintings268Please respect copyright.PENANAWuFywIehgq
there is wrappers and trash268Please respect copyright.PENANA4UR5p7LdvE
things are stacked and things are hanging268Please respect copyright.PENANAXrCsOxidiM
they're placed and leaning on edges268Please respect copyright.PENANAXyCgyL59Jw
things are covered268Please respect copyright.PENANAf4McprKiUp
and hidden268Please respect copyright.PENANAc4mzYmodPA
and tottering on ledges268Please respect copyright.PENANANwpvlK1lm1
and eight or nine blankets268Please respect copyright.PENANA4QxFpDRkQH
are piled atop one another268Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5HysVd0IU
heavy on himself, on his bed268Please respect copyright.PENANAOsfQ52su4c
falling onto the floor268Please respect copyright.PENANALWs49K52MO
like a nest of distraction and268Please respect copyright.PENANAwVRs8nlMOJ
bullshit268Please respect copyright.PENANAfMe6QDHkL9
and shadows268Please respect copyright.PENANAruHpldZ7kW
there are things invisible he can’t see268Please respect copyright.PENANA1FncWFFxN0
there is always the fear268Please respect copyright.PENANAhMOAeFX1B5
they hide in the darkness268Please respect copyright.PENANAc27frXdmm4
and are hard not to run into268Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ27mXjshM
There is a concentration268Please respect copyright.PENANASdHAoRzcsv
to the paranoia268Please respect copyright.PENANA0lylrQo01j
and he maneuvers about the stuffed space268Please respect copyright.PENANAn6WeFdk6yU
like he’s looking for that something unseen268Please respect copyright.PENANAYbK7JT04O0
Don’t let everything fall!268Please respect copyright.PENANAFyt9Jbi752
like a plea268Please respect copyright.PENANAcBmhm7GANC
he is trudging on through268Please respect copyright.PENANAH5JBWDLhpk
and heaving and slumping268Please respect copyright.PENANAqzJab0iSqS
what used to feel safe268Please respect copyright.PENANAGJUq6syjch
like hearth268Please respect copyright.PENANAaoG60rZ7Pu
but now feels engulfed in ice268Please respect copyright.PENANAnORpxQRVgt
Don’t let it all come collapsing down!268Please respect copyright.PENANAiMEGGs7iOQ
He won’t be able to do this much longer268Please respect copyright.PENANANhmPtqkUut
to dance around all of the unseeable darkness268Please respect copyright.PENANAb6TYJIMzgI
that smells artificially sweet268Please respect copyright.PENANAyt6RVY0ozE
and burnt268Please respect copyright.PENANAf2xuD2lgfO
because of the flickering wicks268Please respect copyright.PENANAJAj4WgJoBq
he has three candles lit268Please respect copyright.PENANAia4bwbamvm
their flame tricking his mind into thinking he’s warm268Please respect copyright.PENANAK72lrrrhBs
for a second268Please respect copyright.PENANAXnZjqw3XFU
like a fire is inside him268Please respect copyright.PENANAyRFU9f2tfx
but alas it's cold outside268Please respect copyright.PENANAfDzDj4tDki
and the storm has raged all through the night268Please respect copyright.PENANA5YpZmlopJb
The rain falls268Please respect copyright.PENANAqHeOhLCOoY
against the small window268Please respect copyright.PENANAQsfddMBI9v
in redundant tap-tap-taps268Please respect copyright.PENANAugjVOulFML
and he attempts to count268Please respect copyright.PENANA3bnrLcrObr
how many drops fall268Please respect copyright.PENANAk7PVUdOE7V
against the pane268Please respect copyright.PENANAOTTROHJdis
and quickly loses his place268Please respect copyright.PENANATxuHrB8faf
and while he enjoys hearing cars drive down the wet road268Please respect copyright.PENANAYtXxIsyNDv
beyond his walls as he writes268Please respect copyright.PENANAWzBKMlVYzm
he wants to sleep268Please respect copyright.PENANALRaoRATB5d
He is alone and contemplative268Please respect copyright.PENANALNRrMXFWBi
about how it feels to fall268Please respect copyright.PENANA3DBP7wBrx2
into the insecurity and uncomfortability268Please respect copyright.PENANAFNxQe9gZdw
of itchy, scarred skin268Please respect copyright.PENANA0BsHND7tcS
his brain is screaming because his mind is ramming itself268Please respect copyright.PENANAMWO9q9GHeh
against the walls268Please respect copyright.PENANAiMymbTLwMl
of the skull268Please respect copyright.PENANAhHoc8YQYy1
He’s hung a sheet on the blinds268Please respect copyright.PENANAcD4suuOl29
to block the breath of night268Please respect copyright.PENANAl4jKx139NG
yet it's still coming in268Please respect copyright.PENANAurJ1ocfC7a
like a frosted wind268Please respect copyright.PENANAkVXqybKeOq
seeping through the glass268Please respect copyright.PENANAhtORD8ykmq
of his windows268Please respect copyright.PENANAvngXowFO98
and the pores of his walls268Please respect copyright.PENANAKgcoH5rFtp
breathing over the carpet268Please respect copyright.PENANASqRhJng17I
and icing the scene with ghostly268Please respect copyright.PENANABL1jIEs6UC
cold268Please respect copyright.PENANAukemKOeirw
crushing him while he’s awake268Please respect copyright.PENANASWaf89dQg9
the air is too cold268Please respect copyright.PENANAsPaPRPCMJF
and its weighing him down268Please respect copyright.PENANAsGPTbUwz0j
he cannot make out what is in front of him268Please respect copyright.PENANAMc6XuLHGaJ
with depression like lightning268Please respect copyright.PENANAustLrycqiv
striking overhead268Please respect copyright.PENANATbWgsMbpkl
bursting268Please respect copyright.PENANATYObgeIBuU
and splitting his ears with thunder rumbling268Please respect copyright.PENANAB7UipcU2OR
and he chokes on his throat268Please respect copyright.PENANARWzzPFg4NN
he is paralyzed in vulnerability268Please respect copyright.PENANA4graOx8m3z
his muffled gargles268Please respect copyright.PENANAJWks0eJMIA
left unheard268Please respect copyright.PENANAambgKLwy1f
he can’t move his eyes that are bulging268Please respect copyright.PENANAP8tH7CgzwN
and his color is changing268Please respect copyright.PENANAW6VrVbbhzW
darker and darker268Please respect copyright.PENANA7vAobeuauO
in horror268Please respect copyright.PENANAzz8pgyBSz8
he forgets how to breathe268Please respect copyright.PENANAqZNTIJa39v
and his head rushes with blue268Please respect copyright.PENANAzj1rFbK4TN
and then darker268Please respect copyright.PENANAWDygJnl694
for a trapped, dying expression268Please respect copyright.PENANAhHEfV8j14D
He is more and more268Please respect copyright.PENANAwihULNAKIB
unable268Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZJnrZdUqC
to struggle against268Please respect copyright.PENANArcchYhF0ZB
the darkness268Please respect copyright.PENANAdsiGP4CGLY
he feels inhuman268Please respect copyright.PENANAer7xztVRWh
He thinks of how dreamy it would be268Please respect copyright.PENANABvzQAIcMIj
to have no shadows268Please respect copyright.PENANAJBWYrQsxg6
and to encounter a hero inside268Please respect copyright.PENANAbMIt6VVyqF
to put an end to all of the darkness268Please respect copyright.PENANAYFhMBRYQkR
that keeps him useless268Please respect copyright.PENANAuA8q6Rzn0z
under the heavy, cold air268Please respect copyright.PENANAGeAaKQ9XVz
but he realizes he has nothing left268Please respect copyright.PENANAJwdYgoUZpm
and his love is lost on those that he loves268Please respect copyright.PENANA9bRnyXbiPD
for they have not given him their hearts268Please respect copyright.PENANAp78mAOX2hb
and he breaks his itchy skin268Please respect copyright.PENANApCiiMiSMoq
because he’s angry with who he’s been268Please respect copyright.PENANAesQaw4CMKD
and they don’t seem to care268Please respect copyright.PENANAtBC7fvLosS
so he thinks he’s wasted his time268Please respect copyright.PENANAqU4KZwwmTR
and they can go fuck themselves268Please respect copyright.PENANAQehc3M9WUJ
because he doesn't want the affection268Please respect copyright.PENANArP9yLnsY8Y
and he doesn’t need the attention268Please respect copyright.PENANAxKgbu4qn5U
from someone who doesn’t love him268Please respect copyright.PENANARFPe6MQeak
You don’t need them268Please respect copyright.PENANA1VZ5GuCpXm
You won’t have any of them268Please respect copyright.PENANAsFsnTU0bA7
Bring light upon the dark yourself268Please respect copyright.PENANAEP44UgBeaQ
He tells himself268Please respect copyright.PENANAgu9vTHG3It
there is a way to become healthy268Please respect copyright.PENANAKA4ZkgSick
to be warm and bright268Please respect copyright.PENANAriuAA6G1Xy
but whether due to fate or choice268Please respect copyright.PENANAZrrPOE3ise
he has been led down a melancholic path268Please respect copyright.PENANA0gtlB37V8R
and dark thoughts disrupt him
