Sadness

I close my eyes and dream
To escape my lies
So that only beauty remains
Heavy to light
Bound to nothing
Desire to fall
Soothing or healing
Forgotten next day

No smile and no sadness
Just fading away

I’ve come to call you the meaning
Of my life
But hastened to the end
And full of bile
Unable to wake you
Didn’t get what you meant
It’s grown so ugly
Like a slower death

No smile and no sadness
Just fading away
