Every silver lining is tied to a cloud
Dark and full of rain
There can be light
But you have to go through the pain
You smile but it’s only a frown
That’s been turned on its head
A mask of what you have to hide
Showing the joy, when you’re crying instead
Ambushed by friends’ good feelings
You can drown in their commiserations
Pity me. I am lost in the dark,
Dark day. Only the night shows a starry light
There I can let my mind float into the void
Hitch a ride on a searing comet flight
Grief is absent in the hours of the day
Hidden under a ‘I’m doing well’, look
But at night I can hug it close, like a blanket
Breathe in the sorrow like a well-read book
You see, sadness is a picture you can’t complete
When you are missing a piece of the puzzle
