THE SORROW THAT NEVER LEFT

Sleepless night
Painful dreams
Things of the past
Or so it seems

Ultimate pleasure
Blissful contentment
Giddy illusions
Of a heart lay dormant

A world of wealth
A dream of ambitions
Tricks to the mind
That the curse is broken

Strength in numbers
Comfort in kinship
Hippocratic vows
Of meaning so deep

Search of the heart
Purification of the soul
Futile attempts
For a sadness too old

Hope for tomorrow
Believe it's here
Burying the pain
Seemed so much easier

No doubt in my mind
Its finally so clear..
Try as I might
It wouldn't disappear

So you stopped praying
It would go away
And embrace the sorrow
That is here to stay...
