An Uninvited Guest

Sorrow falls through weary walls-
As uninvited feelings mix...
When Complication comes to call
(Brings with it Woe that can't be fixed!)
I will strain to entertain
What Fate the Gods bestow
For I cannot live without the pain
That's buried deep within my Soul

Archaic, this is a powerful write. Full of feeling and depth. You allow the reader to really feel the pain buried inside. nice job

"I cannot live without the pain, That's buried deep within my soul", I know what that feels like! Awesome line! Great flow to your words here, and I love the rhymes, too!

Thanks, hon. I actually made a goof in the last line when you first read it and didn't catch it until I reread it. Last line should have said, "That's buried deep within my Soul". When you read it, it read "buried deep with my Soul" and I was like, Oh, no! lol
