who was so positive and happy
that has lost my happiness
and all i feel is gloom

soft bed of roses
evokes dreams of happiness...
yet beware of thorns:
opinions, overthinking
can often lead to sadness

Here it is the grey monster

Sadness

Sticking it tongue

Poisoning my head

But surprisingly

Giving me verses.

Darkness follows me
Light reflects me

Through my emotions
Drowning in the ocean

I found out
All that money is
Not needed
Cash doesn’t
Cure pain, sadness, and sorrow
And can’t buy pure love

A deep soul sadness 
Confused diverse emotions 
Love tattered and torn

A violation of trust
Never completely regained

Dead Road

Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.

Alone

They have not a place to stay 
Sitting there, starving, all day
It causes me to bemoan:
The fact that they’re all alone

Premium Member Failure

Nazis failed
filled with sadness
as I see Zionists try
   history repeats
       babies die
 	        and die and die

Sadness

This sadness is seeping
Leaking, spilling out
Of every cell in my body.
Craving a bullet
A rope
Or pills
To
End 
This 
Pain.

Confusion,
you betrayed me.

Sadness,
you betrayed me.

Hurt,
you betrayed me.

I trusted you.

The Entitled

the entitled,
caught between envy and sadness
over futile choices
raised  close to the earth
sleep with the whippoorwills

Sad

In the learning of the world and it’s pain, it’s rules and it’s sadness
I’ve unlearnt myself 
And that is the true tragedy.

Premium Member Drive By

A pang of sadness
for the old magnolia tree
cut down and paved over
to create a parking lot
behind the new beauty salon.

Release

Just like clouds releasing their rains
Let go of that sadness 
Let go of the pain
Let go of the past
And watch things grow

Premium Member Sadness Muses

Sadness interferes with life
In me it muses
I feel the power of hurt
And it squeezes out
Saddened heartlessness

Hopeless

Deep
Dark
Sadness
Overwhelms the soul
Inside
Outside
Fumbling my heart
My mind.
Hope?
Gone
Lost.
And all
In despair

It's time to depart
I'll treasure those memories
I'm very thankful
Those happiness and sadness
I'll never forget those days

Our Sadness

our sadness
not to know the power of now
beyond toys and stars
we cling to our last breath song
held so silently in the now

Premium Member Fare Thee Well

there are
merciless 
words that shatter joy
falling with tears of farewell
as sorrow’s wayward ghosts come fleetingly home
