Chains Of Sorrow

My heart darkens in sorrow,

Struck by death's arrow.
Shan't I perish for thy love;
Or flutter away like a dove?

For peace is gone; despair is near,
Joy abandoned me; grief is here.
Why have thou left me alone, cold
in the dark, surrounded by evil souls?

O' let me free from thy manacles!
It is poison, killing me so subtle!
O' let me go! Open thy steel chains!
Take my life, and end my pain!

My soul drowns in sorrow,
For me, no more tomorrow.

Sea Of Sorrow

Fear. Anger. Hate. Suffering. The million negative words float in the sea of my mind. They are part of me, as they are part of you. Perhaps they are trying to drown me, to engulf me in their sea of sorrow, take me, bind me, suffocate me as I scream soundlessly.

But I refuse to go down. I will swim forever in this sea,be it on a boat or just me. Though sometimes I swim against the current, it matters not. I still swim. I swim.
