5 - Melancholia

I walked into the river
with a line from a song.
I wore my black cape
and I put on a frown.

I can't deny I want my
happy ending.

The smoke curled slowly
in psychedelic gloom.
The first time went by
in sadness for Haroun.

He can't deny he wants my
happy ending.

    I didn't get it at first but then I tried imagining the scene playing out in my head... truly depressing.

    Remember the explanation I gave you, about the kind of people it's based on? I want to take that back, that was a little too hasty of me. The first 37 seconds of the song I mentioned were absolute inspiration for this one, if a poem could have background music with it this would be it.
