Books, film, poetry, and songs are saturated by broken love.
Sometimes people get together who were never meant to be together.
This is but another.

Melancholy Love
(A lone voice whispers)
Even though we loved so deeply and fought so many picky wars
That invisible tears still stain our faces
Marked by emotional scars, which bare our flaws
I know one day we'll meet again as friends
For true love never ends
And as long as our hearts still beat
There's still time to achieve this feat
But if there ever comes a time, when Charon's Obol arrives
And you survive, as I sail by
Just know now
Some men are just mundane fools, to fall in love.
But with you, I've fallen in love a thousand times, with a gift bestowed from Above
For true heavenly revelations, sometimes lay scattered, within small moments, of casual conversations and picky fights
To then make up at night
As two embrace last year's New Year's resolution of:
โThis year will be the making of us.โ
For even if I lay with Charon's cold silver Obol
I'll sing to you, within that new flux
My life's final absolution,
My only love song
And it's why my love
You'll live forever
For loving you was truly never wrong
