The Song of Melancholy

Pensive heart to vomit frustration—

Condensed in the inner core—no exhaustion.

Pervaded darkness—a sight to grope out

Disappointment at the frontline—Hope retreats.

                                                                                

Plaintive pressure; asphyxiated thought

Smothered outlook; claustrophobic

Nightmarish disappointment; striking anxiety

Stark pessimism; negative fruition

Mental agility; acute dementia

Solitariness accelerates the pitch of melancholy

Cohesion of elements verbosity fails to explain.

                                                            

Enormous expectation; achievement little

Success diminutive; successive failures

Robust optimism; blatant disillusionment

Hard effort; insinuating destiny

Intervening consolation; disheartening sensation.

                                                            

Saturated unhappiness—Volatile serenity

Relishes the vacant heart with the essence of melancholy.
