her songs are filled
with pain and regret
even when they are
love songs
perhaps because they
are
like a horse and carriage
love and marriage
she can't have one
without the other
when I listen to them a
s I often do
they make me ache
and wonder how at
such a young age
how she could have
written these,
how she could acquire
so much tragic connection
such of pain of heart
how much can a young girl collect
in such a short lifespan
each song filled
with Hope for something
that never comes
her voice echoing the tragedy
of her world like
a Shakespeare sonnet
that always comes around
to the same question
