Grief settles on you Like a sturdy mantle Of sorts. It quashes you, whole-- Yet, you don't find Any visible holes. One moment, It squeezes your gut; The next instance, It engulfs your heart; Yet, you're obliged to smile-- Asserting That everything's Spiffing and divine. Because, there's nothing Palpably awry; Though, within you, Each diminutive thing Feels so dark-- Despair, inundating Who you are. "Melancholia" #Melancholia #diwa #yqbaba
