AN: Just a short poem I did when I was bored. Enjoy and review!


Sorrow is
the space between
two waves of joy.
Those moments of silence
where everything is still.

Sorrow is
a tearstained face
an orphaned child
a tear on the face
of a blue-lipped girl.

Sorrow is
the emptyness when
everything you love
is gone.
The hole in your heart
when when someone dies.

Sorrow is
a ripped up drawing
a blood-stained knife
a slap on the face
of a crying girl.

Sorrow is
the absense of smiles
when everyone has gotten so tired
they don't even pretend.

Sorrow is
a long black dress
child-sized shackles
a leafless tree
a scar of the face
of a broken girl.

Sorrow is
the only way
to know the difference
between a faked smile
and happiness.
