Melancholy me, since Kelly's gone away

Far beyond the sea, and out of every day

Stage by stage I've wept, but finally, I see

What I must accept; a melancholy me

Happiness and joy, are never felt alone

Grief did not destroy, but left an undertone

Hopeless to contest, what lingers underneath

So I'll try my best, to balance in my grief 

Maybe I am jaded, but I'm past denial

Anger has since faded; Ive learned again to smile

Since she had to leave, and I am here to stay

 I will forever grieve, my  melancholy way

Born with her last breath, it burrowed into place

Living with her death, I might as well embrace

For now it's mine to keep, it's just my cross to bear

I've buried it down deep, but it is always there

Distant rain cloud looms, in sunny clear blue skies

Though never quite consumes, within all things, it lies

A whisper to remind, and keep my pain intact 

But this I do not mind, since I can't have her back

And though I did not choose, it's what I would prefer

I cannot bear to lose, the memory of her

If pain is in my heart, Kelly too, shall be...

Because she is a part, of melancholy me.
