_Melancholy_

Angels float down empty streets,
Coasting down across the sky.
The grey of hallowed concrete
Swallows up their lapping breaths.

Leaves shower down from trees.
Death is the only way to beauty.
A void is given meaning, but
Always is it empty.

I wish the angels would pick me up
And drag me from my body.
My hands seem so strange tonight.
This room can’t seem to breathe.

That's the beauty of PIP. No matter where you are inside, if you look there's always a poem that says it.....but seldom such a perfect perfect match.
