Sorrow knows no boundaries
As it slings its heavy arm around me
Despite my many attempts
At shrugging it off.
Soon it is caressing me
As I try to shy away
While discovering there is no escape
From its embrace.
It's got me backed into a wall
And I'm asking it to stop
With a 'no' which may as well
Have never been said.
I'm smothered by its weight
As it crushes up against me
And I have no choice but to succumb
To the power it has over me.
I feel it as it touches me
In places I never knew existed
And I pray for it to end
As I can no longer stand it.
It takes me a moment to realize
That my eyes have been paved shut
Until an eerie silence fills the air
As I slowly open my eyes again.
I am surprised to see
A room as empty as me
Though I feel its presence lingering
As thought it never really left.
It's in my heart
My mind, my soul
Don't let its absence fool you-
For it never really goes.
