Sorry
Angry tears of rain fall like leaves through the life of a sister's ruin,
Suicide cries like a mother's child lost and abandoned,
Laughter fades into the credits at the end of your life,
Sadness swells on the tide of misery and misconception,
The rape of the land is an epic tale of despicable deeds and empty gestures,
The mind's eye sees only what it wants to see and nothing more than the selfish portrait,
life of a down and out more pleasing than a rich man's,
hope fled like the rats from the trap,
darkness envelops me like the flame of a candle wrapped around the fluttering moth,
Sadness will echo through the halls of a dark man's home,
Lost is the way,
the glory,
and the light,
Sliding down without a hope,
past solemnities,
falling away from me.
