Melancholia


What is there to do
When I'm crushed
Suffocated
Torn apart by loneliness
People passing all around
Yet here I stand
All alone in this ocean
A sea of society
I want someone
To pay attention
To notice
To care
To tell me 
Everything will be alright
Even if it won't
I want someone 
To wrap their arms around
My melancholy heartache
And to see
That I'm not okay
I promise
