Sadness of my soul
Why are you so pervasive
You seep into my pores
So slowly
So unknowingly
Like a tip in eternity
Scoffing logic
Scoffing time
Bending moods
Blinding truth

Milliseconds of realities
And then

And then
It begins
A butterfly
So beautiful
In bluish flight
Now dead
Stilled
To thoughts of existence
Colorless
The sadness of the ground

And the doleful numbing of my soul
Grows deep
Covering nerves
Covering Muscles
Covering what is

And I mourn

And I mourn
Not for what appears
Not for what I feel
Not for what is real
I mourn in deep memory
Of loss
Of what is me
Of what was you
Of what was me

And I cry
In sadness

Missing
What it was
That made me happy
Missing
What it was
That gave me hope
Missing
Who it was
That that made me
Me
