Ode To Sorrow

Sorrow, why must thou plague me Filling every crevice of mine Pouring thyself in like water O' Sorrow, you will destroy me As thou drains what of me still shines And my happiness thou slaughters O' Sorrow, feel free to leave now Thou has weighed this soul down enough Draining me of all that is light O' Sorrow, i will release thou Your companionship proved too tough And I don't have the strength to fight O' Sorrow, you have won the war I have given up my heart I no longer want what thou left Sorrow, I don't want anymore When will you finally depart and complete this ongoing theft?

If I read this correctly it is about an individual who has fallen out of love with another and they bring nothing but sorrow to the relationship. They are to tired to continue the fight and to tired to leave so they hope the other person will move on. Excellent read. A.W. Nutter www.freewebs.com/abcedit
