How do you explain sadness
When it has no roots
When it’s scattered itself across the
Ruins of your heart and made its home there
Twisted vines and fragile buds poking through that Scream for love
How do you explain sadness on a Friday night
When your eyes should be filled with love
And your heart with passion
But your emotions feel muffled
Screaming heart saying please
Don’t forget that you have loved here and
That person still resides
How do you explain sadness?
Should I call it a part of me ,
Embedded in my skin,
Stuck in my brain,
Here even when I wish that it were not
Should I explain it as a loud night , a too quiet summer, a jumbled puzzle?
Or should I not explain it at all,
after all,
Explaining sadness will never make it go away…
