Five Senses of Sadness

One would think depression is constant sadness.

There are times when happiness is genuine,

but most of the time there’s a hollow feeling in her chest.

Where her heart should beat,

no sounds echo.

Where she should feel warmth or cold,

she feels nothing.

Where she should be aware of the sounds surrounding her,

there is silence.

Where there should be sights all around,

she dazes.

The taste of a lover?

No feeling but flesh.
