a certain kind of sadness

there's a certain kind of sadness
that floats about the air today
a certain kind of farewell,
both real and imagined
a certain kind of sadness
that hangs about my closed eyes
a certain kind of emptiness
that fills my void heart

there's a certain kind of sadness
that floats about the air today
the world goes by sepia toned
everything is so background noise
the certain kind of sadness
walks with me to the pantry,
when i fill my mug with water
and bring it close to my lips

there's a certain kind of sadness
that floats about the air today
maybe it's the way the clouds rolled by
or how the sun's rays filled the sky
there's a certain kind of loneliness
that wraps around my silent heart,
and i guess its because you're leaving
that's why this sadness floated by
