Sorrow All Way Along

Stay forever
in there, till death
cause you don’t have
a choice in heft.

For all the times
being alone in line,
nothing has changed 
and nothing will.

Every-time 
i try to smile,
trouble is the one
who is willing to be by haste.

It is
forever like this,
nothing the way 
i really wanna sway.

The chaos in my head
is making me shed
the last hope lived at
and my very last breath.

It’s hard and hard
what karma had taught,
but enough was enough
because that was making me dead.

Deep and deep 
those words got swept.
Into my heart
and never out of  my brain.

I cried and cried 
for all the reasons
till i am FROZEN,
but nothing’s gonna change.

You’ll never know
how much i am hurt
cause no one else can fake
a smile better than i do.

you will never know 
the fright i had,
the broken pieces of my heart
and a million things unseen.

Heartbreak

You let her in 
The harbinger of
Heartbreak
With stealth she came and silently stole you away.
Without a whimper you followed her 
away for me 
away from us
And into the darkness 
I reached for you
And cried out 
All the while she seduced you with lies
 in whispers
And I am laid silent 
You let her in
The harbinger of Heatbreak.
