Tears of Sadness

Liquid begins to fill my eyes As the tears drip down slowly Like a water dew drips from a fossit Drip....drip...drip...drip.. Flowing down my face Like a mighty waterfall Raging down toward the abyss Of Sorrow's lake that surrounds me Sitting on a little island As the dark water that were once tears Keeps me from the far off shore Making me a prisoner here. Happiness fleeting Woes settling Sadness dwelling Hope shrinking Why must the fates be cruel To serve me awful gruel From the cauldron of dread Than a bowl of bliss? Why must I be alone With only my tears That formed a lake As my only company? Looking at my reflection To see a sadden soul That sits in wallow Like a caged swallow. Is there no hope For a soul such as I? To escape such sadness Find the light across This dreadful darkness?
