Melancholy

It’s how you feel when you wake up and get ready for the morning, but can’t seem to remember what you’re forgetting

It’s having a meal when you’re incredibly hungry, but everything tastes just slightly underseasoned

It’s that feeling of opening your phone, but can’t quite remember why you did

It’s that feeling of waiting for something to happen, but you have nothing to wait for

It’s the eyes that start to burn, but not quite water

It’s the days that you have fun, but don’t feel cheerful

It’s the world losing a few pigments of color each hour

It’s the sighs throughout the day that get heavier and heavier

It’s knowing you can’t give up and quit, but not quite sure if you wanna move on and keep going 

It’s the your heart being in a grip within your chest, but it feels more like a hug

It’s that feeling that no one quite knows how to explain

It’s how I feel now

And that’s ok
