sadness 6.9.25 (7:04 pm / 19:04)
sitting h e r e
in the dark
i can feel her presence
sadness is a strange all consuming friend.
she takes all of your time
she feeds off of your happiness
i know how this goes, this is how it is with me and friends
but
this is something else
she sits by your side while you cry in the unlit room
she brushes out your hair and whispers nonsense in your ears
until you stop breathing hard
and your heart stops beating fast
until you stop breathing
and your heart stops beating
sadness will not stop you when you drag razors across your arms
sadness will not care when you hold her, she will not hug you back
but at least she won’t be afraid
at least she’ll never leave
she holds out your hand
for you to take
and she crushes your fingers
pushing you back down to the ground
sadness is a fickle friend
but she’ll always make sure you’re never alone
