Understated

I'm forever different and always the same
Trying to give names to emotions
That defy description
Leaning on my mind
Ignoring the truths
So supple
But understated
What is this mood I create
In fits of melancholia
And why do I buy into
Rationales
And excuses
So long in coming
So very easy in the departing
All the long ways past midnight
And beyond
