Sadness that you accept
not embrace but accept
the kind that is heavy but not crushing
perhaps you feel you deserve it
perhaps you're used to it
and just can't escape it
the sadness that lulls you to sleep
lullaby cries and goodnight weeps
the sadness that sweeps
the sadness that can help you find peace
cold yet somehow soothing
like the other side of the pillow
the kind of sadness
that fills your dreams
