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.
