Sadness,
why do you come again?
Is there something I haven't learned,
perhaps a cycle I keep repeating?
I see my constant efforts to avoid you have failed,
you keep returning, but why?
I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing--
praying, saying all the right things
why do you torture me?
On countless occasions I have waved the white flag,
but you are the one who won't give up the fight for my sanity,
what more do you want from me?
Is my home here?
Are you my destiny?
I am tired but there's no rest here,
so what does that leave me, sadness?
if you want me to stay you've got to show me some comfort
or this dance we are playing may be deadly.
