Sadness sinks into my skin,

Running in rivulets unseen

Like rivers of water winding

Their way into every organ

And orifice in order to weigh

Me down and add a drag

To my days, not unlike the

Drag your plane will overcome

As it flies you away

From the airport parking lot

Where I sit with this sorrow

Flowing out from within

And carrying to the surface

My longing to see you again.
