If sadness is a disease
Contagious and deadly
Spreading like wildfire
Igniting sparks
Then pain is an earthquake
Rumbling and deep
Tearing lives apart
Cracking both land and heart
And tears are floods
Dams bursting
Drowning helpless souls
Deep in their sorrow
So cuts are lightning
Sharp, painful, quick
Over in a flash
Always needing more
And if happiness is sunshine
Well, our worlds are all gray
Always leaving us to wonder
If we'll live to see the next day
