Melancholy me, since Kelly's gone away

Beyond the moon and sea, now gone from 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 means to not destroy, it leaves the undertone

It’s hopeless to contest, what lingers underneath

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

Though, I may be jaded, I've left behind denial

The anger has since faded; Ive learned again to smile

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

 Forever I will grieve, my  melancholy way

Born in her last breath, to burrow into place

To live despite her death, as long as I embrace

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

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

A distant cloud that looms, in sunny clear blue skies

Though never quite consumes, within all things, it lies

A whisper to remind, to keep my pain intact 

But this I will not mind, if 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, then Kelly, too, shall be...

Because she’s just a part, of melancholy me.
