A vague awakening
Sometimes I want someone around just so that I can talk to them about sadness -
not in the ordinary sort of way - complaining and all that, no;
I want to tell them about how beautiful sadness is -
when it's there without any reason
and it won't just leave
like a cold damp blanket wrapped around you on a winter's evening
you can't shake it off because you are wearing nothing underneath
and a cold damp blanket is better than being naked
a reasonless, ceaseless sadness strips us naked and wraps itself around us
there is no more lies
no more hoping that it could be any other way
it is what it is, real or not
it is what it is
