Enveloped in Sadness
Vacant eyes stare unfocused
The body slouches over
Exhausted from the trials of life
Weary from the constant motion
Inside a heart aches
from the pain of being
Bleeding love that
will never be returned
Sleep comes easily
Whenever and wherever
Grateful to be taken away
to another dimension
