Sadness is awareness of loss.
Infinite regret grappling with what never was or will be
Liminal void, grief seeping and pooling in a vacuum
Expanding into the elastic sphere of never-to-be-met expectation
Noiseless shrieks and screams paired with deaf ears
Cacophonous NOTHING, sucking thought and breath from memory and soul
Evacuating thoughts while leaving leaden lacerated longing voiceless.
~
Inspired by Miley Cyrus' Used to be Young
Written for Vocal's Moment of SILENCE Challenge
