Sorrow

Sorrow, suffering, pain and fear These lonely thoughts follow me here At home in the evening Bathed in soft light How unreal is reality All alone in the night? So many needs to be fulfilled So many souls with love to be filled One person alone, all by my self I must meet each one, Putting none on the shelf Hell they say is a sad place to go But isn't hell here? Does anyone know? Heartache and loss is what this world brings Not even the sun can brighten the spring Why do I care? I don't even know perhaps when I die my understanding will grow After this life is gone, I wonder what's left? Will we be any happier? Or even more bereft?
