Have you ever loved?
And lost?
Have you ever tried?
No matter how exhausted
You may be
Abandoned Dreams, redacted schemes
The feeling of sadness
Impurifying my being
Like cream, as it mixes
In my coffee
Changing colors
Changing forms
Changing me
Changing norms
Of who I was
Of Who I am
My life is adulterated
But, I'm still bland
For to get the perfect sip
You need much more than a dip
in the white silky embrace of the cream
You need to mix some sadness in
To be happy from within.
