I woke up with a profound sadness..
Edged deep into my bones..
I couldn’t shake it no matter what I did..
No matter how hard I tried it wouldn’t leave me..

I tried to replace it, to forget it with my favourite things..
I frolicked with friends..
I took long walks in nature..
I smelled the flowers and wrapped them around my head..
I read a beloved book underneath the canopy trees..
I danced in the rain in my favourite dress..

And yet the sadness wont leave me..
The sadness digs her claws deeper..
Grabbing hold onto my heart..
Wrapping her long limbs around my heart tightly..
So tight I can barely breathe, barely see in front of me..
Whispering in my soul harshly..
“We are one now”..
