Describing Sadness

I never summoned sadness to my cause And yet it fell full to me, neverending A darkness envelop the soul, to pause To leave despair, a depth I'm descending When did time become a realm so cold? As beauty faded away in silence When love was shaken, the heart foretold Loneliness will appear in love's absence Grief flows fluid, while in quiet repose To fill the emptiness, when love has died Reflections fleeting, do not but expose A need for a flickering light, to guide Summoned by sadness, with no knowledge of To feel a heart grow cold, without love
