Ms. Sadness

Ms. Sadness

A Poem by sinNsincerity

Fell in love with

the sadness,

which later,

became my passion.

The black became my friend.

Bested by the

light I was given.

So I caved in,

sorta like a caveman.

Then I died

again when she

glanced in.

I asked myself,

“should we dance

again?”

I couldn’t make up my mind so,

I fell back into the black

and wandered through

Wonders.

And now we’re back here,

falling in love with sadness

again.

So mote it be

It's hard to have a skill that relies so heavily on trauma, in all of its forms, to produce work that doesn't seem plastic. It's a good piece, I liked it. I think the harder emotions yield beautiful work. Of course, this calls into question the standard of beauty - but, that's a longer post. ^_^

"Fell in love with
the sadness,
which later,
became my passion." - First off, I absolutely love how plainly you've written this. It's not only relatable, but very comforting in the way of giving tragedy an identity.

"The black became my friend." - I really like the sudden abruptness of this sentence.

"Bested by the
light I was given." - this is a lovely sentence.

"So I caved in,
sorta like a caveman.
Then I died
again when she
glanced in." - I found it interesting and functional to add a bit of humor, or something representing that it
was attempted. It kind of gives me the image of someone who is heartbroken and trying to laugh it off or make light of their pain.

"I asked myself,
“should we dance
again?”
I couldn’t make up my mind so,
I fell back into the black
and wandered through
Wonders." - I found this absolutely beautiful. Relatable in a way that is hard to put into words and yet very keenly felt.

"And now we’re back here,
falling in love with sadness
again.
So mote it be" - again, you've expressed this in a wonderful way. The idea of falling in love with sadness is something so real and comforting to those who have done so, intentionally or not. The ending makes it a prayer or a spell and all the more bittersweet.

Overall, I loved this piece top to bottom and I think you've done a solid job on getting both your ideas and emotion across. Too often I read poems and simply see them, but I definitely felt this piece. Thank you much for sharing and keep up the good work!

The poem is very good. I appreciate that you got into this subject and didn't make it boring. It is short and on the subject.
My favorite lines were:
"Then I died
again when she
glanced in.
I asked myself,
“should we dance
again?”

Thank you for reading Kathrine, I'm really glad that you enjoyed those lines.
You have a way of taking the reader on a ride! I LOVE, LOVE, the emotion in this piece! Your work is where truth combines with reality opening up for all to feel connected in some way to the pieces you write! Well done! I fell in love with sadness before.

Thank you graceful.
The phrase. "back into the black" really sticks with me. In a few short words it describes a very strong emotion, one many of us can relate to at times. Wonderful write!
