woebegone


your wicked words will
haunt me forever
like nightmares
in the dead of the night
like hidden scars beneath the skin
too deep to be healed
imprinted on my heart
impossible to forget

oh, you thought you broke me?
i can't deny you didn't
you really did do a great job
turning me into a woebegone
weeping for the forgotten times

but you see
tears are not forever
neither is the sadness
the heart has its ways of furbishing
the wounds have their way of vanishing

oh, yet I am a woebegone
- someone beset with melancholy
i suppose you might just say
there's a strength to it
an unknown charisma
one which builds me from within
lifts me from within
and makes me who I am
- much to your chagrin
