End of the Party
/Melancholy dims my sunshine
Drains my gaiety away
Tinges my mood with blue hue
It roots inside me
Grows like a tree
I can’t hack it off
It penetrates my soul
Circulates in my blood
I am unable to separate from it
It hides behind happiness
Loiters around pleasure
Hovers over victory
At the end of the party
Its sad face looms at the door
Waiting to take me home
