Torn; oh, how my mind is torn- And worn, I’m weary and so worn. The years that lie behind me, Leave memories that bind me, Sometimes it leaves me wishing- That I never had been born. Alone, In my heart I’m all alone- Gone. All the things I loved are gone. A trail of bitter memories- Dead dreams, and lot’s of ought-to-be’s, Echo in these lonely nights… A melancholy song. Tears. I must have shed a million tears. And fears, all those doubts, and dreads, and fears. A lot of sad near misses- Dreamed of, and longed for…kisses- Ashes of long lost romance- Make the days crawl by like years.

Boy, Gunslinger, Meloncholia is right. To tread backwards with regrets can bring such sorrowful tears, but they can also be washed away with memories of times that brought loud laughter and crinkles to the eyes. Great Poem ~netswan |

man oh man, the heartache bleeds out of this one. the only advice i can give is this. a wise robot once said "it is wise to remember the past." but my friend replied to him "it is wiser to learn from it and wiser still not to live in it." good luck my friend. very well written thoughts. good structure too. i liked that. We all got our demons. We all got somethin' to atone for. |

Yep, that just about sums up melancholia. Not a fun place to be. I'm sure we've all been there on more than one occassion. Well written, John. Denise |
