Sorrow
Sorrow comes in many forms
Like a devious thief in the night
A kleptomaniac who'll happily steal joy for pain
From parents
Lovers
To children
Friends and family
Have you heard him casually whisper your name
Sorrow
(Mr. Grief whispers)
Do you want to experience pain?
Then
Fall in love
And let me break you down
Again and again
From birth until death
When you wake up one day and only memories
Remain
