Sadness

Sadness persists Because Anyone can send a Facebook justification A letter, a sympathetic reparation A bunch of words, a careful and thoughtful nuance To touch only from a distance For these words didn't have to be faxed from two miles away To someone who transatlanticised for you back in the day It's only fair to say Sadness persists Sadness persists Because Your liberation comes at a cost And that cost is the brewing and spewing of my mercy I was meant to believe Spasmodically That I was the one with the insanity While you baked yourself silly Morning to blackness Filled your bags with all your personal property Disdained me nonchalantly And all I spurred was "Stay" It's only fair to say Sadness persists In a second, you are not mine In a second, you are not mine Sadness persists Because Help, is not something that can be made to realise Because it's not ice cream Or a spoon of digene That can be digested automatically Help is what you give carefully Help is what you accept consciously Accepting the ghosts of your past Accepting that darkness needs its masks To be removed And had it been you And me alone It would have been another way It's only fair to say Sadness persists You left nothing behind and I was all alone You left nothing behind and I was all alone Sadness persists Because Man is not an animal Capable of receiving or of loving unconditionally Those in love will find themselves lucky And those who are alone will feel solitary Because this, is a cruel anomaly The existence of an ordered coherent Society, If it was for individuality I would have known a better way It's only fair to say Sadness persists
