I have had my moment with sadness himself

I have sat with sadness in tears,

I have shared my sorrows in his presence.

I do not share my woes with just anyone,
for I have had my moments with sadness himself,
eat at his table shared a toast with his friends.

Opened my heart to his arms;
fought by his side for my own happiness.

I fought so long that I lost all track of time.
I can not remember my happy times
for they ran away so long ago,
seeking someone who has no woe,
and no means to lose their heart to sadness.
To toss away everything they hold so near to themselves,
and to push it to the side to forget that it's even there.
