Sadness

Sadness is blue, like that one trickle running down your face as you drown in your own tears.
Sadness is like, feeling deflated, like a popped balloon, floating away.
Sadness is having a broken heart that has no use anymore, like that vase that just shuddered.
Sadness is that umbrella that gets struck by lightning and you have to walk home soaking wet.
