The Day Sorrow Came To Stay
Sorrow is often an unexpected visitor
It comes when happiness has lured you into complacency
Like cancer, it spreads into every aspect of your being
It consumes your light
Leaving you a numb husk of who you once were
Sorrow never travels alone
Despair and regret are its bed fellows
They force you into a cocoon of longing and sadness
A prison you stay in of your own volition
Sorrow, an ugly thing that never leaves even after stealing your joy
If there is a day I’d want to change, it would be the day sorrow came to stay.
