Melancholy

Melancholic love song

floating on the air

wisps of music

taunting my ear.

He is under my skin.

He is in my head.

He is always in my heart.

I do not understand

what is it about me that

cannot let him go?

What is it about him?

In my dreams

in my thoughts

fool am I

for loving him still.

I wonder

when he reads my words

does he laugh?

Or does it hurt him

the way it hurts me?

He haunts my dreams.

The worst of it is…….

I really do not know

if the words I write

mean anything.

Happy thoughts

of him…..

of me…..

  beneath the summer suns.
