"The Meadow Melancholy" by Jacob Raney

In the happy green meadow

Where sunlight falls in rays

I think it's so pretty

Yet I think only of your face

The field turns solemn

Just like my heart

My head is angry

Like it's tearing me apart

Why do I love you so

When I know it doesn't work

I know It's incompatible

And when it is, it hurts,

And when I get happy,

And I try to grow,

I see that face in every place

And then… it isn't so

I wish I could kiss you

But you’re so far

And why oh why

Do I leave my love door ajar

For only you can enter

Not anybody else

I have no idea why

Except that you make me feel myself
