The Three Types of Sadness.

Posted on August 3, 2018 by Isabel Tyldesley

Type One:

Anger.

A stone body; cement eyes

dominate with their Medusa stare.

Steel fists— a burst of movement.

Crimson poison gushes through split knuckles;

depression bruised.

Type Two:

Teary.

A crumpled body; eyes a dam

until the defences crumble

and the river overflows.

The soul cleansed of poison;

the stains washed out.

Type Three:

Emptiness—
