I’ve dreamt
in melancholia
for ages
upon ages,
fleeting tears
spent on ashes
and lost time
desperate,
yearning
for change,
you appear
before me
I stand
in the presence
of your ambience
reaching
for the light,
grasping
at the mere idea
of you
and only
you
yet you feel so far
and almost venture
even further away,
dreaming yourself
of ending
your sorrows
the light
you reached for
slowly fades
into an
empty promise
but you find
me,
waiting
in the
background
as the
disenchantment subsides
our eyes meet
once more
hand in hand,
we both awake
and rise
from our beds
of slumber
to dream of anything
but melancholia
