And that's when the sadness came

plunging me down, down, down

you pulled the plug

you reminded me of the time

you kissed me and dumped me

all in a day.

And that's when the sadness came

after that deep dark stain

the colour of blood,

my heart stopped for a moment and stood

contemplating next what I needed to do, push this sadness out of view.

And that's when the sadness came

long after the rain had washed the streets clean

long after the burial deep in the ground

long after I said my final goodbyes

the sadness crept, it's secret secure

waking me in darkness as I lay on the floor

sadness so deep my body shook

sadness long forgotten it took me unawares

frightening it's sound, howling in it's windswept state

and that's when the sadness came
