sorrow

 
sadness quell leave me my heart
my soul keens it is the sorrow filled hour
in my needing time I lay witness to the truth of pain
I seek solace in the dark

quiet my weeping
in desolation's company I am prepared to feel it all
love in all its facets shine brightly
bitter tears cried stir the bleak companions I keep

ghosts of souls I've loved
frolicking on a summer day
never to feel winter again
in eternal sleep
