Meliae
Awake to the sun; make light of the pain
To be borne sans excuse, borne, no delay
A crack in the blinds, a crack in the sky
A crack in my armor, a crack in my heart
Every day was exactly the same
Fardels borne without purpose
Faces passed without names
Inertia unending, a dry lifeless rose
Why I deserved respite, God only knows
The gray seas of trouble of life are unmoved,
By the reds and the blues you've brought into view
Though all else remain in their dull leaden hues
Your flashes of color in the dark see me through
I never expected, I did not deserve
To lose from my shoulders the weight of the world
To be borne sans excuse, borne, no delay
A crack in the blinds, a crack in the sky
A crack in my armor, a crack in my heart
Every day was exactly the same
Fardels borne without purpose
Faces passed without names
Inertia unending, a dry lifeless rose
Why I deserved respite, God only knows
The gray seas of trouble of life are unmoved,
By the reds and the blues you've brought into view
Though all else remain in their dull leaden hues
Your flashes of color in the dark see me through
I never expected, I did not deserve
To lose from my shoulders the weight of the world
I'm struggling to find meaning in this one, too. I had to look up the mythology behind the title, and while I can find a connection with the first stanza, I don't see how the rest follows. That all speaks more to someone undergoing personal turmoil and possibly someone who saved them from it? And I could take the last two lines as the narrator either being saved or condemned, so... I don't know? Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes not, and there isn't a regular rhythm or structure. I never know whether to take intermittent formatting like that as conveying a meaning or just being for occasional aesthetics. Both entries are enjoyable to read but leave me scratching my head as to what they mean.
