Once again night gathers, 
beckoning your tears.
Sorrow shatters laughter, 
echoing your fears.
You tragic disaster, 
what fruit can life bear?

By stealing another's boy friend
Next, she was bound and gag
With her head in a bag
She was met with a tragic end

Though tragic, right opposition. 
Is similar to a harsh rejection.

True Tragedy

True tragedy is not our death,
nor that our heroes low are laid.
It is that ev'n our tales of them,
are just as doomed to fall and fade.

Bitter

Bitter discontentment rules my life
It breathes life into my battered soul
All I feel is rage
Tragic disappointments remind me
That only doom lies ahead

Bitter discontentment rules my life
It breathes life into my battered soul
All I feel is rage
Tragic disappointments remind me
That only doom lies ahead

Unfinished

Daisy was a dog owner’s delight
She never fought and didn’t bite.
But she ate some bad food
Putting her in a mean mood.
The result is too tragic to write.
