Analysis of Sorrow



It eats away at the center of my heart,
This pain within will not depart,
Before my eyes open I know your still there,
And once again my day you'll share.
I pray, I hope you'll let me be,
Go away right now and set me free,
It doesn't matter where I go,
it doesn't matter what I do,
It seems I can't get away from you.
I wanna scream I wanna shout,
I want you gone I want you out.
Leave me Sorrow go away,!
I know you listen as I pray!
At night when I'm Alone in bed,
Your in my heart, your in my head.
Is it my heart you seek ,you need,?
And on my spirit you wish to feed?
I feel you in my veins my blood ,
In my wounds does Sorrow rub.
I can't take this pain no more,
As I pray to our Great Creator lying on the floor,
Please release me there's the door.
I hear laughter,see a smiling face,
But Sorrow is the nectar I taste.
It eats away at the center of my heart,
This pain within will not depart,
Before my eyes open,I know your still there,
And once again my day you'll share............
