Still

Frustration,
hands are tied
Tears,
clouded eyes
cries,
made in the dead of night
sing,
your melancholic melody tonight

scars gape open
your a pierced soul
bleeding,
it never stops
cry your last tear
go on and let it out
God knows the toll twenty- four years have had on you
so many answers, you've lived without

cracking bones
you're fragile to the core
tremble from within
Enervated, lying on the floor
oh the bitter taste of this sweet song
is killing me,
Rise up oh hope
from this dust of a melody

Notes dead
hang off wrinkled paper
unraveled words
crumbled, crinkled
Unheard, never sung
melancholic melody
