My sadness is not about you
It is mine alone
It has been building up inside of me for decades
Like drift wood it's been stacking up
Higher than any castle we could have created
Towering over all else
Overshadowing even the best of days
And when life's quiet I can hear it
Whispering promises of loneliness and self doubt
But the sadness in itself
Has never been about anyone but me
It has been with me since before I knew myself
It is the only thing that has never left my side
