Sadness has been coming to my door
sometimes I even hear his slight taps on my bedroom window.
He comes at night when the sky is black and the world is quite
-I’ll lay here motionless
blank eyed as his knocks echo threw the halls of my home
rippling their way into every corner, they know there are new skeletons to be found
I wont let him in
but sadness knows where I keep my spare key
I’ll tell him to leave
tell him i’ve made new friends
tell him i’ve been doing so much better on my own
but he will remind me, he knows me all to well
so ill let him say
sadness showers with me
sadness lays in my bed at night
no … sadness is not a metaphor for a guy
sadness greats me in the morning
and sometimes
sadness even calls me his best-friend
but lately somethings been wrong
I found sadness in the middle of one late night
he couldn’t sleep and kept me awake for hours as he told me things were going to change
he told me he’d like to move in
that i felt like a home

Great write, very raw.
Wow! This is deep. Throughout the poem sadness interferes in every aspect the writer’s life. I only hope this was a writing from the perspective of an onlooker rather than from a more personal level.
