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?
