Notes About The Poem

Sorrow

When the lights turn out
The heart turns colder
When its raining inside
Nobody ever going to know
The sorrow that you’re holding 

The chains, weight against your heart
Dragging the hope away
Drifting under
Under the sorrows 
Beneath the tears 
You lay to rest

When the lights turn out
The heart turns colder
When you lay to rest
You fear
The blackness from the madness in your mind

One of these days
Just one, is all it takes
To hold your sorrow
And 
Throw it out that window

Susan Ashley February 1, 2024 at 7:12 PM Dear Paul, your emotive verse paints an intimate portrait of sorrow and depression. If only one could hold the sorrow, angst, depression and "Throw it out that window"! Wish that could be. Your imagery is deep, emotive and evocative. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
