Songs of pain and sorrow April 19, 2012

 


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
