Sadness

sadness isn’t just a feeling, it’s a state of being

Sadness for me isn’t a feeling
It’s a person.
She sits in my core and eats at my intestines.
She crawls out from my eyes and stains my sheets.
She crawls back into through my ears and whispers her disgusting secrets in my ear.
She slinks into my brain and unravels each thought
Carefully placing her own disgusting thoughts in with the mix.
She climbs down my aching bones and pulls each nerve in my fingers
Making me feel her previous endeavors along my legs with regret and distaste.
She climbs out of my mouth with horrible noises that hurt the people around me.
She then sits next to me
Lets my head rest on her shoulder
Tells me everything is going to be okay
And lets me know she’s the only one that will forever love me.
And I let her stay as she strokes my hair and wipes her own mess off my face.
