My sadness,
Comes in waves.
All the memories,
All the regrets,
They overwhelm me, and I feel like I am drowning.
It could come in the middle of the day,
Or as soon as my head leaves my pillow.
I am not safe from my sadness,
I cannot out run it,
I can't even prepare for it.
It fills my lungs,
My heart,
Permeates through my soul.
My sadness takes over in waves.
