Melancholy.

Melancholy.
Between where she is
And desires to be.

The world around her
And how it should be.
Melancholy.

She could change them,
She tried
Stifled instead she feels inside.

She waits for him
to take her hand.
He lives far-off 
in a distant land.

Lone,
With a million pieces of solitude for company.

Come along lingering lover,
Perhaps then I wouldn't be this melancholy. 

If only happiness were a charm,
That I could sprinkle around.
if only bitterness and resentment were far gone.

Lesser expectations of people.
Maybe then they'd come around.
Could it be that they see me, 
as something of a class-clown?

Friendships last a while
Wisdom teaches me to accept this 
and smile.

Decency is appreciated
If it were more common-place.

The only true love lies within.
Everything else
is 
but an illusion.
