His seas of melancholy

His seas of melancholy

Washed the pain up on his shore

And offered up to him

Only thoughts of his abhor

All the things he hated

He spoke with his last breath

As I sat and waited

For time to bring his death

The "sea of melancholy" paints this boundless, expansive source of pain, continuously flowing, touching lands from afar. It doesn't just affect one person but many, as sadness is like a plague. The last stanza was extremely powerful, as it shows that the speaker's hurt will eventually cause his downfall, as if there is no other path to go but a dreaded one. Amazing work, erniej!
