Sadness

I have no right, 
Or good reason,
For the sadness, 
That flares from within.
Maybe I long for a place,
I can't remember, 
Or a love, 
That's smothered in sin.
Maybe it's change, 
That I'm lacking,
Or the pursuit, 
Of truth that's buried in lies.
I just hope, the world can forgive me.
For the sadness, 
I hold dear tonight.
I believe tomorrow will be amazing,
With laughter, and good intent.
The sky will be blue, not gray,
And the time will be heaven sent.
Tonight might be a struggle, 
But tomorrow will soon be today.
So tonight, I cuddle with sadness,
And with hopes,
That tomorrow's happiness,
Will keep sadness at bay.
