Melancholy, My Love

Melancholy, my love,
I write this hesitantly,
love for me doesn't come easy,
truth be told,
people scrutinize my sincerity,
towards you,
and towards my family.

Melancholy, my love,
I swear to bear with you,
and not be swayed,
by passion,
who tries all that is,
but pray, our love for each other,
be passionate as ever.

Melancholy, my love,
your sorrow is now mine,
its all I ever asked,
a love so pure,
the jealous can't realize,
the world would never mind,
the empathy you confide.

Melancholy, my love,
you are the only one ever
to know me as I am,
to know me like no other,
like love had never,
So if you ever leave,
Know I will be melancholy while dying.

Melancholy, my love,
with shining bright tulips,
in their moonlit glory,
I adorn you all above,
let me whisper in your ear so you know,
you're my first and only
confession of true love.
