The Sadness of Being

the mourning light lays upon your face spilling its sadness wearing your grief we hold on trying to halt your slide under our hands leaves of skin flake to float the breeze, you are vanishing smile lines are erased a flawless mask takes their place, looking into the unknown you are lost in dreams each day a knife of anguish carves at your mind you've forgotten the majesty of life and a love all carry for you suffering and misery stay behind in attendance we touch your center hoping to revive a spirit to no avail he would have wanted you dancing to the music of each day finding joy in a speck of light to love again and deeply with passion and flames happiness was his mantel a laughing song of joy and a soul overflowing with hope, he was your everything, we can’t begin to understand But, your presence is missing we have lost you both, I have cast spells and woven magic to bring you back I have prayed to a god I don’t believe in, with no answer, now I am lost to your sorrow I will join you in black until you are ready to come back to being again
