greetings from the darkness

 
hello, my name is sadness
do you know me?
have we met somewhere before?
I know your face but I've forgotten where I first saw you

melancholy plays notes on my soul
I keep company with ghosts
I'm too old to really care, so move on

limbo is full of regret
penance is for the hopeful
I know better than to believe I will be received

in the hall of memories gentleness is lost
I am less than I once was
collecting the loneliness of the hour
madness greets her own

despair is it?

yes. of course I know you
come with me darkness, old friend
