II. Melancholic238Please respect copyright.PENANArwgT2d56Da
238Please respect copyright.PENANAhftQCVm2tP
when it came time for sleep238Please respect copyright.PENANA6y7kiWXYXb
he had already accepted238Please respect copyright.PENANAqdzcqHYNvg
that it wouldn’t be a sweet dream238Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4O9krGivT
for there was never a night238Please respect copyright.PENANAuGk0teq5t8
in which he slept sweetly238Please respect copyright.PENANAJvMcQjCta0
in which his eyes didn’t sting238Please respect copyright.PENANAwjyekhr1E5
in which his body didn’t throb238Please respect copyright.PENANASdvEVbrfhL
in which he wasn’t a zombie238Please respect copyright.PENANAZnuHMJQ3PG
he hates to be awake238Please respect copyright.PENANAs26NljuPnr
he wants to be asleep238Please respect copyright.PENANAhn4OCAB33O
In the heap of a mess238Please respect copyright.PENANAvkdk8W2ztH
the young man rests238Please respect copyright.PENANAtQZK3CAXkX
his back against the box spring mattress238Please respect copyright.PENANAE6mrQsOsFR
underneath the dreary light238Please respect copyright.PENANAbatEnnhWzB
of a circular ceiling orb238Please respect copyright.PENANAo4tpaNsXGb
intricately measured to be equally hung238Please respect copyright.PENANADaOof0Hi7X
centered between the four walls238Please respect copyright.PENANAXTwySEdEqM
enclosing around him238Please respect copyright.PENANAhLjjYJrjtn
the small, box-like room238Please respect copyright.PENANAauAlTw6PhV
a little room crowded with too many things238Please respect copyright.PENANAxRwW716kRX
full of everything238Please respect copyright.PENANAa7PZa9pXVf
littered amongst the carpet238Please respect copyright.PENANAl2pgMkkx8Z
there is books238Please respect copyright.PENANAsT3NsVsEvA
there is paintings238Please respect copyright.PENANAZlh1nYVNiA
there is wrappers and trash238Please respect copyright.PENANAAQt7kyBUT9
things are stacked and things are hanging238Please respect copyright.PENANAjL1CM4VLXA
they're placed and leaning on edges238Please respect copyright.PENANAYeoAINwWom
things are covered238Please respect copyright.PENANAAKzbFiTvQ9
and hidden238Please respect copyright.PENANAC7UKTbqnSC
and tottering on ledges238Please respect copyright.PENANAweSuvp5oGR
and eight or nine blankets238Please respect copyright.PENANAfe8dgrYztQ
are piled atop one another238Please respect copyright.PENANAmocvK9snUZ
heavy on himself, on his bed238Please respect copyright.PENANAtAUL7nQXZh
falling onto the floor238Please respect copyright.PENANALau9JXRd2h
like a nest of distraction and238Please respect copyright.PENANAK4K2j6kSWE
bullshit238Please respect copyright.PENANARH3YirPfed
and shadows238Please respect copyright.PENANABXysTWqSEe
there are things invisible he can’t see238Please respect copyright.PENANASpYxWrN929
there is always the fear238Please respect copyright.PENANAuD3UO5mHE0
they hide in the darkness238Please respect copyright.PENANAc8j7fnIafp
and are hard not to run into238Please respect copyright.PENANABoD9IhMdJX
There is a concentration238Please respect copyright.PENANA2QnIVJfw2i
to the paranoia238Please respect copyright.PENANAG6pxvk2TJn
and he maneuvers about the stuffed space238Please respect copyright.PENANACCEbbRQ4C6
like he’s looking for that something unseen238Please respect copyright.PENANAYq9FF4dEpu
Don’t let everything fall!238Please respect copyright.PENANAHcy3jwBZb4
like a plea238Please respect copyright.PENANA9M7OuJ9Woy
he is trudging on through238Please respect copyright.PENANAscgjfAHQGs
and heaving and slumping238Please respect copyright.PENANAPdUU2dEMTN
what used to feel safe238Please respect copyright.PENANA4ktoPkjn2u
like hearth238Please respect copyright.PENANAaRvyLCbxSX
but now feels engulfed in ice238Please respect copyright.PENANAHUaE8YCKTB
Don’t let it all come collapsing down!238Please respect copyright.PENANApUQUuIriew
He won’t be able to do this much longer238Please respect copyright.PENANAjKmc4437tP
to dance around all of the unseeable darkness238Please respect copyright.PENANA5IIhZa0m56
that smells artificially sweet238Please respect copyright.PENANAjiOB2sPm99
and burnt238Please respect copyright.PENANAASnTx5KDzS
because of the flickering wicks238Please respect copyright.PENANARGrsuyTCVb
he has three candles lit238Please respect copyright.PENANAVJVk4zN02w
their flame tricking his mind into thinking he’s warm238Please respect copyright.PENANAIhgl88bQUL
for a second238Please respect copyright.PENANAkO0P7zqpQf
like a fire is inside him238Please respect copyright.PENANASVnv5VRTSV
but alas it's cold outside238Please respect copyright.PENANAvSZ7zgjnGI
and the storm has raged all through the night238Please respect copyright.PENANAgWeQ7Rxg16
The rain falls238Please respect copyright.PENANA0oM6Tae1rm
against the small window238Please respect copyright.PENANAH9lCiUea67
in redundant tap-tap-taps238Please respect copyright.PENANArFIBVRg1NR
and he attempts to count238Please respect copyright.PENANA6CtEHhUzMs
how many drops fall238Please respect copyright.PENANAsWBNrnxjhr
against the pane238Please respect copyright.PENANA4QQj7TPpPn
and quickly loses his place238Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ6QLYzPKy
and while he enjoys hearing cars drive down the wet road238Please respect copyright.PENANAnKECDL14l6
beyond his walls as he writes238Please respect copyright.PENANA94vsQqtkL0
he wants to sleep238Please respect copyright.PENANAVIXHQkqTZs
He is alone and contemplative238Please respect copyright.PENANAd8KfBMp3zJ
about how it feels to fall238Please respect copyright.PENANAwbQfvHYcUj
into the insecurity and uncomfortability238Please respect copyright.PENANAmQJbKhBSPe
of itchy, scarred skin238Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z1XZRfz1G
his brain is screaming because his mind is ramming itself238Please respect copyright.PENANAKrdJs4M2Jr
against the walls238Please respect copyright.PENANAfauBB1wkdZ
of the skull238Please respect copyright.PENANAb8RTX4oGFV
He’s hung a sheet on the blinds238Please respect copyright.PENANAY7zUSNNZK0
to block the breath of night238Please respect copyright.PENANAzMCF6KB7HX
yet it's still coming in238Please respect copyright.PENANALiPEYwbxjK
like a frosted wind238Please respect copyright.PENANARAAb0Ij7TJ
seeping through the glass238Please respect copyright.PENANAryos3OXfZx
of his windows238Please respect copyright.PENANAs0E4aasOCG
and the pores of his walls238Please respect copyright.PENANACYaK1BmFhP
breathing over the carpet238Please respect copyright.PENANApKuremVzBj
and icing the scene with ghostly238Please respect copyright.PENANAn9EaIMQVAi
cold238Please respect copyright.PENANAhBT0LzWdfH
crushing him while he’s awake238Please respect copyright.PENANAX8oJcAVhLM
the air is too cold238Please respect copyright.PENANAsdYoZemcIP
and its weighing him down238Please respect copyright.PENANAxQiq9aKnUR
he cannot make out what is in front of him238Please respect copyright.PENANAZsDSCFLAbe
with depression like lightning238Please respect copyright.PENANAE8njQowM8o
striking overhead238Please respect copyright.PENANAlx8pfvinRD
bursting238Please respect copyright.PENANAQVyF3nxJsU
and splitting his ears with thunder rumbling238Please respect copyright.PENANA480UNCWVXY
and he chokes on his throat238Please respect copyright.PENANAAPOpZmUWOr
he is paralyzed in vulnerability238Please respect copyright.PENANAtslKQ9g2mq
his muffled gargles238Please respect copyright.PENANACJ9gUA0Cfj
left unheard238Please respect copyright.PENANAOi1QeRGIcS
he can’t move his eyes that are bulging238Please respect copyright.PENANAaOkvfXYDgh
and his color is changing238Please respect copyright.PENANAzUmebNpmrJ
darker and darker238Please respect copyright.PENANAoMg4fp7DHH
in horror238Please respect copyright.PENANAEwobNZBGY0
he forgets how to breathe238Please respect copyright.PENANArBoWuwyczY
and his head rushes with blue238Please respect copyright.PENANA1dWZd1ajiG
and then darker238Please respect copyright.PENANAAY8cc2tbPj
for a trapped, dying expression238Please respect copyright.PENANANxH10RFQkM
He is more and more238Please respect copyright.PENANA2jm9XAabrg
unable238Please respect copyright.PENANA3DFNJho8bf
to struggle against238Please respect copyright.PENANAt2KvHDAtPA
the darkness238Please respect copyright.PENANAiLsZSliN1l
he feels inhuman238Please respect copyright.PENANAasZCEDhpiy
He thinks of how dreamy it would be238Please respect copyright.PENANAohY85mc1do
to have no shadows238Please respect copyright.PENANAWb35aenNnF
and to encounter a hero inside238Please respect copyright.PENANAb3Ww1TfAKg
to put an end to all of the darkness238Please respect copyright.PENANAkYbbfIb2pN
that keeps him useless238Please respect copyright.PENANAMCxCL9qtUb
under the heavy, cold air238Please respect copyright.PENANACsvm9HGYHx
but he realizes he has nothing left238Please respect copyright.PENANAnxAx1TKARh
and his love is lost on those that he loves238Please respect copyright.PENANAU1OrGg0aoM
for they have not given him their hearts238Please respect copyright.PENANA8P9Jnb4s4p
and he breaks his itchy skin238Please respect copyright.PENANA8PdvzDV5VW
because he’s angry with who he’s been238Please respect copyright.PENANArzwQvKOtI0
and they don’t seem to care238Please respect copyright.PENANAXPdwOrcWTT
so he thinks he’s wasted his time238Please respect copyright.PENANAk1mU9yYPOP
and they can go fuck themselves238Please respect copyright.PENANAXp6k1lrf1Q
because he doesn't want the affection238Please respect copyright.PENANAWdoTLS9UcJ
and he doesn’t need the attention238Please respect copyright.PENANAuIIsCBMvkp
from someone who doesn’t love him238Please respect copyright.PENANA421SX5SPA3
You don’t need them238Please respect copyright.PENANAUuKspysuHM
You won’t have any of them238Please respect copyright.PENANAxMIkCJ3YYB
Bring light upon the dark yourself238Please respect copyright.PENANALLC1y7l50Q
He tells himself238Please respect copyright.PENANACDiqSX8V7y
there is a way to become healthy238Please respect copyright.PENANAoRgl4ACJz6
to be warm and bright238Please respect copyright.PENANA8sHpNBSo5B
but whether due to fate or choice238Please respect copyright.PENANAFXsvGy3lVL
he has been led down a melancholic path238Please respect copyright.PENANAVRNbM5F7sz
and dark thoughts disrupt him
