Sadness
When sadness comes to you
Suddenly and unexpectedly
With the face of an old friend or old love
With the face of a dream
That never came true
With the face of repentance or displeasure
In the world or yourself
Don’t ask why she stuck with you
Smile because that way she’ll leave sooner
There are a lot places for her to visit
Be good to her
Not crazy
Maybe she suffers more than you
Your pain belongs only to you
Hers belongs to everyone
Open your heart to her
Open the shutters for her
To sing her song
With longing
And when others can hear that song
Be aware that she has left you
To go somewhere else
