Forever lost

In a world of  pain

Floating endlessly

Fair Weather

That fears blood
that fears hardship
that hides during sorrow
that denies duty

Alas, it was my world

Thy love perceived
    complex indeed
Sorrow ne'er more.

A pristine crystal droplet For but a moment, suspended Cascades with abandonment And splashes on my sorrow

Cheer Up

F-ill your heart with mirth, 
J-oy, gladness, bliss, and delight, 
L-et the sorrow fade.

I'll end up being in sorrow
Whenever I become hollow

a punishment for every crime
 the deadly price to pay
 when only he stole but a dime
 given something never seen in my day
