Sorrowful Night

Loss from my heart, an old sorrow will foretell. A mistake I made, one night to which love set sail. My first sweet love, gave me my hearts desire. However, it ended such a romance, trapped in fire. One night of disgrace, and a change of the face, Sent urges of discomfort, from leather to lace, Jealousy of her beauty, she placed upon me. Shattered thoughts of mine, graced upon she. Rapture night of misgivings, played out on both. Tore apart our union and destroyed our oath. Time never forgotten, though now a secret kept. Our future to be agonized, with tears we wept. Forever more and beyond, I will carry the scars. Our secret stored forever, buried up in the stars. Theme … an old sorrow…
