Melancholy, My Friend

My emotions are blue,
As blue as the sea.

My fear is deep,
As deep as the unsearched portions of the pacific.

My anxiety is wide,
As wide as the North is from the south.

They are my constant friends,
Invisible shadows drawing me into the darkness,
Luring me with promises of a changeless milieu,
And I follow diligently,
For they’re companions I’ve come to love,
Even though they’re bad for me.

Melancholy, My Friend
