Sorrowful Madness

I have smiled when I've wanted to cry
Was it madness, for mind at time wanders?
Have I lost mind to pensive thought or
Is it my sorrow that's sets mind loose?

If so it proves then alas I am forever lost
For I am a shell and in me only sorrow dwells.
It has me consumed and lo I yield to deserved penance

I have smiled when I have wanted to cry
Was it me or were we then sorrow
Frolic  in pain for we thought it redemption
