He lingers around me
Sadness lingers around me
I tell him to go away but he slaps hard
I remember being happy on the swings with glee
Now it all seems distant as he tells me to die
In the playground we went “wee” around the swings
But sadness hit me hard and I had mood swings
Butterflies in my stomach churned and churned till they died
My ride or die took a flight and I thought to fight
He told I’d be better off dead
But I thought it was a joke-
Never saw my eyes so red
On the millionth taunt I broke-
Broke into fistful tears
I had thought everything was far and never near
An arrow or a bullet seared through my heart
Broke it, tore it, shattered it into million pieces
Funny how I thought sadness would never hurt me
Funny how sadness would never slap me
Funny how my saviour soon turned his back on me
I’ll never look the same way at him the way I did
His slap still hurts me while my cheek is numb as tears slid

I have no words for this piece, this piece potrays sadness as a person and not a feeling which according to me has more emotions and feelings.
