The world seems so sad today
colors are dark and grey.
We speak in monotonous tone
of nothing important,
of nothing at all.
You look at me
not inside me
but through me.
Your bright blue eyes
have no color today.
You walk heavy, flat-footed,
as if the weight of the world
is connected by a chain around your ankles.
You seem so sad today
making the whole world seem sad.
