Woe
Your face, an image I see under waters,
waters that streamed from,
the eyes of a wailing man.
The image, blurred and vague figure,
underneath the sun's scorching clear shine.
I ask, "was it like this before?"
Fade in monotonous color,
my world now ashen-grey.
Sing no more,
heart full of sorrows,
beat no more in joyous rhythm.
Of tomorrow I no longer shall ponder,
for today and yesterday,
was different than before.
How quaint the scene,
yet so cliche.
I thought I knew,
no I drown in pain.
