Sorrow

Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past Hope hides helpless now, in the midst of this turmoil Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow Better days will come, to this it's taught stay steadfast Covered by black storm clouds, faith continues loyal Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past Happiness of youth, an idea we temporarily borrowed Time moves fast making body, soul and heart spoil Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow A day will come when we will have to face our sorrow We look, examine our lives, many, sadly left to recoil Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past To one end, weak or strong, we all do tend to follow For that purpose, all strive, search, conspire and toil Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow Finding meaning in life, a quest that is never shallow However it's always elusive, at times angers to a boil Light fades fast into darkness, forever a word of past Lost lonely sorrow, no pleasure, for now nor morrow

Haha, and I talk about other people breaking form. This isn't in form, just look and it's obvious, in fact, the quatrain doesn't even have two rhyming lines. I must quote Homer Simpson DOPPPPP, lol. I need to fix this mess lol.
