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.
