Sadness

Sadness is about to consume me.
Joy no longer abides in my heart.

If one was to take a knife and cut
into me gloom is what you will find.

I can't breathe I'm about to suffocate
from a profound darkness aka
SADNESS.

Looking through your best poem list and saw this number three poem that I had not seen before. It is super sad. Very well written, Eve. Goodnight. Time for me to get the heck out of Dodge!

Hi Alexis, so sad a write. I think that sometimes being poetic we magnify our feelings are magnified and our pains become more. You have many friends and they shall help guide you to the warmth and light that awaits at the end of the darkest tunnel. However you feel let the heart always sing Alexis. One day the sadness shall end and as the butterfly you shall fly again. A seven for this sad write my friend....Vladislav.

There you are my dearest Alexis! Welcome back! Know that no gloom and darkness can silence a poet's heart! All sadness and darkness could go away at a second, with a single ray of light and a warm smile that your friends here provide! Happy New Year with a lot of joy and light! A strong sad poem! A seven!
