Sadness

Sadness

You are sometimes such a strange vistor

Arriving unawares

When the path seems clearer than it was before

Sadness you are a welling in my chest

Perhaps even that swelling inside my breast

That became cancerous

When was it I first feared to reach

For you

For love?

Maybe my soul knows

And hides the truth

So I never need to feel

So small and powerless again

Sadness at times you are a friend

Showing what is important to me

Sometimes you are a dark hole of absence

Arising when that person I long for

Is so neglectful or far away

Sadness I know that you come and go

Even though over so many years

It seemed you never left me

Sadness are you a part of me

Or just a song from the part of my soul

That sometimes feels so terrified, fearful

And all alone

In life

Sadness

Do you sometimes

Lie to me?
