Silence speaks louder than words they say
But what happens when silence turns into repeated disappointment?
Swallowing words that threaten to break free from my lips
Constantly wanting to please everyone
Never quite pleasing the self
But It’s a pattern now
A part of me
All I know
All I’ve ever known

I don’t want to remember
The way you made me feel
The casual glances
The smiles
The sound of your voice
Signalling a flurry of butterflies to erupt from within
How was it so easy for you to forget
When I’m still plagued by these thoughts
I don’t want to remember

She is sadness
Lost in the depths of her imagination
She appears bright and vibrant to everyone she meets
A soul so pure there is no way she can be incomplete
But only she knows
She is sadness
