Sorrow Or Sweet

I sing to you, my dear This song so sweet it must be sorrow This sorrow, too sweet to be so? Do I even know When sorrow hides behind the sweet Hidden too, am I Do I try? Or do I put an effort Just to feel alright But how can sweet be sorrowful? How can sharp be dull How can light be dark How do I part these feelings from each other? Can I part these feelings from my mind? Maybe they hold me secure I love you, and that I’m sure This sureness is what I crave But how can sure be sure If what taken can easily be gave? What security do I want What bond do I need Do I see the sorrow? Or do I need the sweet? This I have But can I keep? Are you mine Or am I yours Where lies the floor, I cannot see This love will never leave Though like a lid upon a jar The contents, might it pour? Or sturdy does the table stay Sturdily can I say Do you love me too? You know I’ll never leave you I know you won’t leave me But happy, can I be? When still I cannot tell The sorrow from the sweet. It brings me back around Down the stairs and on the ground I have the question It will stay Any day, will I know? What is it that I’m feeling Do I need you so Or do I love being with you? Know you’ll never go Is this the sweet I’m looking for? The security I hold? Or is this feeling stronger Not of pleased, but need Do I want, or love to keep? These thoughts will linger on I’ll never know what’s wrong Or what is right Are these thoughts of sorrow? Wanting more Or are these thoughts of sweetness Having what I adore But do I have you? Or you have me? Still can’t tell sorrow from sweet. I’ll have to move on The cycle stays Every day I’m spinning Thinking, to myself Am I wanting Heaven? Or do I run from Hell? Sugar and spice Sorrow and love Which lies in front of me? Which can I keep? Though I love you so deeply I’ll sing on, this lullaby Sing my dear to sleep Still cycling are these thoughts Is it sorrow Or is it sweet? As you slumber on, my love This love and thought, I still will keep. But are these thoughts sorrow or sweet?
