Hello Sadness

My closest friend sometimes.....

                                      Hello Sadness.

Why do I let you in sadness?

My always companion,

Never far from the surface,

I laugh now but know you are waiting,

To engulf me in your stifling embrace,

And pull me under choking my screams.

Where are you happiness?

I can still smell your perfume,

Fading away in the breeze,

This fleeting scent of nostalgia all that's left.

I can't keep you,

You are like sand slipping through my fingers,

Ahh there you are anger,

My fearless champion,

With your venomous words,

You flay my enemies,

You tear them limb from limb,

And leave me more wounded than they could ever be.

When I stand on the grave yard of my emotions,

Burying them as far down as I can,

Lovingly placing their tombstones,

And lying fresh flowers on their memory,

I'll stand alone falling to my knees ,

Again crippled by sadness my only true companion.

This moves me to the core, Vidya...

How can one move on...is it possible to capture the lingering scent of happiness once it slips through the fingers?...

Sadness is the Frienemy we cannot live without...

Well penned, dear friend!~xoxo~

Oh damn girl, did you write this with me in mind too? This is so how I feel today and yes, we all have those days where we can't say no to the sadness that is slowly creeping in. We just have those days where we cry and have tantrums. Let it all out, that's the best. Venting session for us girlies me thinks! ;-) Love you my lil patootie!!

A very profound piece Vidya. You explore the duality of emotions with a high level of expression and insight. Suffering seems to be an all too common part of existence, the key is to leave both fear and hop behind and embrace life as it is. Again … a most excellent piece. Brava.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you so very much Pryde for your lovely review :)
