sadness is the emotion
i am most comfortable with

i know sadness well
and it fits nicely
in all of the
little pockets
of my skeleton

swimming within
my vessels
blood churning sadness
throughout my body

droplets fall from
green eyes
the gates flooded
with liquid feelings
tears meet mascara

i sit, stand, love,
work, sleep, write
all
with
sadness

in every nook
my shadow
even in the night time

sadness,
i know you
so
well
