Melancholy

I'm sitting and waiting
The town's people are sedulously walking
Through the grey streets
Pretending to be very busy

No wind, just a trace
Of melancholy
Also borne by my face
Is blowing

We met again today
And talked about unimportant things
Just that we could stay
Together at the same place for a while

Until you said, you have to go
Then a qualm plowed my heart
Left a scar and woe

Yesterday I sang all these old songs
Felt longings for a time when the sun still rose
And sunk over us. But that's over now

I'm listening to music, heed the violin
That abduct me into
Deep dreams, while in front of the café
Transpires a car crash

Hey don't think that I miss you
But I probably do
I try to wipe your traces of
Although they are beautiful

Yesterday I sang all these old songs
Felt longings for a time when the sun still rose

I don't want to hear the sirens anymore
I get up and pay and head for the door
And flee to the lake
Where I stay
The rest of the morning
Or maybe the whole day
Or my whole life, because such a long time
It'll last till I'll have forgotten you
How can I forget your tender smile
Moments that I have shared with you
Our hearts may break
But they're on their way
And there's nothing I can do

    This was hauntingly sad in my opinion. Well written.
  • Thank you.
