Sadness

feeling sad, blue
downcast
the sky is clear
the sun is above
but there's only cold
dont know why
its too deep inside
to delve
want to reach,
want to feel
But Im too numb
why oh why
can't explain
spinning twirling
I want it to stop
but it keeps getting faster
tears are my comfort
deep calls into deep
the sound of the waterfalls
the waves pour over me
still reaching, calling
Hoping, listening, answers.
