Sorrow

Looking through the watery surface reflecting back at me,
Drowning as you smile.
Sinking deeper into this dark grave,
Burying me along with your pain.
What did I ever do?
With the exception of loving you.
Did I deserve this misery?
Time after time thrown at me.

Trying to call to you,
Choking down resignation.
Your ignorance of my plight,
Causes phoenix tears to burn strong,
Illuminating my saddened face,
Evaporating these deep depths,
Where I fell so long ago.

Sorrow, dark as night,
Suffocates the light,
Torn into pieces,
Along with the rest of me.
Darkened by wolves' teeth,
Their mournful howls seek me,
Filling the air with desperate song.
Sadness looms bigger than life.
Blackness ceases, enveloped by dawning light.
