She makes me smile

Another melancholy moment

I'm trapped against my will

The sky lifeless and gray

Happiness unfulfilled

Another melancholy thought

Everything seems so dismal

Colors seem washed away

I'm broken hearted, miserable

Contemplation brings a smile

I ache from the sadness

A thought of her makes me smile

At her unknowing innocence

Maybe I'm biased

Maybe I'm not thinking straight

Still it seems to be so wrong

That she may have less time on this earth than I

Another melancholy day

Despondency reigns

I feel my will has been taken away

And my strength has been drained

Consideration of how perfect she is

Of how short her time may be

A thought of her makes me smile

I wish I was as innocent as she

I look to the heavens, for the clouds to break

For something that might soothe the pain

Anything that might dull the ache

That resides inside my broken heart

Contemplation brings a smile

At her unknowing innocence

A thought of her makes me smile

And it makes me ache
