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
