Secret Sadness

i think a part of me knows 
something’s missing. 
i feel something empty in my chest and the empty is not easily filled. 
if it is filled,
it’s usually for a short period of time,
and then it disappears into the abyss of my heart.
my heart is warm,
my heart is pure, 
but my heart holds a secret sadness. 
it’s a sadness that tries to take over my happy. 
this time i won’t let it win.
