sudden sadness

sudden sadness is striking
here right in the middle of my heart
i feel terribly cold already
and its rising so fast to my head

inside me is trembling
can't even hold a pen
saline in my window
prepared in droplets

knees can barely hold it
fainting almost
my shoulders are getting heavy
adding to the burden

my brain is freezing
trying to recall happiness
but sorrow's beating on it
damned

crippled
i want to wake up to reality
crying for help
i need to escape this

quickly after
the millisecond grief
has succumb
to oblivion

-dedicated to my papa(1950-2007). may you find peace from the comforts of the heavens.
