Sorrow gained is sorrow called
sorrow gained is sorrow called
watching as the dead trees go bald
Thinking what is invalid
watching the warmth play its last ballad
I can only hope warmth will rise again
leaving behind infinitesimal pain
staring blindly at a blackened wall
embers still smoldering from where i fall
looking down to a sight not so kindly,
something i hoped i could have left behind me
but as i weeped i became weary
crying out as if someone would hear me
futile attempts when my eyes were bleary
then struck at last with a notion so shocking
mile a minute, i could not stop talking.
while their eyes and knees kept on locking
then I looked inside and found it was blocking
Me.
I looked around for something to grab,
stopped had all the mindless gab
trying not to fall once more,
but alas, there was always More
as the justified karma in folklore
though accused as one of the poor,
i felt rich right to the core
Rose up and fought valiantly as i had not forgotten that feeling
then my heart turned black and my skin started peeling
quickly so quickly i turned away,
only Glimpsing at what i might turn into one day.
and it reminded me of something a wise man had once said,
"The only good people are the ones who are dead."
