Sorrow



In shadows deep, where pain resides,
Sorrow sings, its mournful cries.
A heavy burden, heart's weight to bear,
A solemn melody, filled with despair.

Tears cascade like raindrops fall,
Sorrow's touch, a haunting call.
Aching hearts, consumed by grief,
Seeking solace, seeking relief.

In sorrow's grip, we find our way,
Through darkness, towards a brighter day.
For in sorrow's depths, strength can grow,
A testament to resilience we'll show.

Let us embrace sorrow's fleeting song,
For in its presence, we can be strong.
The bitter taste, a lesson learned,
To cherish moments, love's flame yearned.

Through trials and tribulations we face,
Sorrow's embrace, we'll bravely embrace.
For in sorrow's depths, we find our might,
And emerge stronger, in sorrow's light.
