Sadness
the feeling that I can't describe
that sticks to me like cobwebs,
caught in my hair and on my clothes.
It clings to me
It is visceral
Down in my bones -
I can feel it
I can taste it on my tongue
I wear it like a gauze covering me
head to toe.
Sadness
It consumes me
Yet I can't explain the very essence
Only that it's there
Only that it's real
Only that I feel helpless to rid myself of the crushing empty void it brings with it.
Heaven help me.
I feel so alone.
