It’s   a   universal   killer,
An   unwanted   visitor   that   makes   itself   at   home in   the   lonely   hearts   and   tired   eyes.
It   becomes   an   addiction   if   given
long   enough   to   fester,   becoming   the
only   thing   you   can   feel   if   anything   at   all.
You   cling   to   it   because   you   so   desperately crave to feel something   besides the emptiness that resides in the place   of   where   you   once   assumed
you   had   a   heart   that   beat   too fiercely.
Sadness   is   an   outcast, a reject   that   takes   up   residence   in   those who   are   foolish   enough   to   let   it in   when   it   comes   knocking.
It’s   a   heart   that   feels   so   much that   it   becomes   too   much.
It’s   the   point   when   you   stop   caring   because you   once   cared   too   much.
Sadness   is   realizing   that   you   are   replaceable, that   there   is   nothing   that   makes   you   special from   the   people   around   you.
It’s   realizing   that   they   don’t   need   you   anymore, after   you   gave   them   everything.
It’s   realizing   what   you   gave   them   wasn’t   enough, that you weren’t   enough.
Sadness is  a drug that  I  don’t  want  to give up.
