Its comes in the middle of an optimistic smirk
Or when my mind is settling in its warm and cozy canopy bed that is surround with black sheer bed curtains.

The sad creeps in.

It creeps in when I am feeling safe and held in the arms of husband.
It creeps in on warm days when Im laying in grass watching the clouds pass.

The sad settles in.

It settles in the crevices of my brain
It settles in the chambers of my heart
It settles in behind my eyes
It settles inbetween each breath

The sad lingers.

It lingers through the days
It lingers in the words I say
It lingers in the thoughts that drift by
Its lingers through earths revolutions
