Creative Writing Exercise 1

Sadness

You have left an imprint on my memory

And you went without saying anything

I have nothing but sadness inside of me

I have nothing but memories of those days

The day came when we had to say goodbye

The day came for which I was not ready

Now the emptiness in me digs its claws

Sadness attacks my soul like torpedoes
