lyrics

Dear Melancholy Heart,

I purchased some DVDs the other day, thinking I could run through this torrent of sadness with a numb mind. It didn't work though.

Flipped through the radio channels, looking for some solace from a pop star somewhere, but I finished a boxful of tissues instead.

I actually thought I could get somewhere and not be missed and be out of touch, but then the bills found me and had your name on it.

I think I left a bottle of whiskey lying where it shouldn't be.

Walked up the stairs, along the grey corridors, and spied some neighbours through their open doors, having dinner or catching some TV show, always with someone. I turned away and looked the other way, looked over the ledge at times, and clenched my fists most times.

This loneliness is as stark as the day you left.

Sometimes I remember some golden moment we had, touching me at the edges of my mind. But most times, I remember the other days that were not as golden, that made me and you turn away, from this, from everything.

I wonder what you are doing, what you are thinking, what you're eating, what you miss. Not that it matters. No, it shouldn't matter. Forget it.

Please.

I hope you don't receive this letter, and I hope it gets lost.
