Sadness
in your smile
in your eyes
in your touch
nothing but sadness
why?
you won't tell me
you won't let me take it from you
why?
you thrive on your sadness
it feeds your every move
it feeds your every word
why do you let it?
why do you need it?
why do you want it?
this undying, growing sadness
pain in your face
pain in your eyes
pain in your smile
do you need this?
i don't know
can i take it away?
i don't know
i wish i could
take all the sadness
take all the pain
replace it
with love
with joy
with happiness
can i?
