The sadness of sadness

When it rears itself upon a soul
It lays around and hides it's face
Tears and sorrow are its toll
It has no care for time or place

An unwanted reminder of an unwanted loss
It fuels its stay at sorrows cost
When laughter attempts to override
It refuses to have it by its side

Then comes the day it decides to leave
It smiles at you and rolls on by
The time has come for others to grieve
The departing of grief is when you die
