Let my passion’s burning flame
Gutter in the closing night
Let no star ever shine again
A nightscape bereft of light

Let my heartbeat deaden and still
As my life’s blood becomes as ice
Never to be quickened until
True love becomes a sacrifice

Let the ocean of my soul
Wracked with grief be torn asunder
Let compassion that makes me whole
Be torn apart by wrath of thunder

Let the ink of my weary pen
Dry away to ebon dust
Let no one read these lines of pain
Let a silver tongue become as rust

Let my serenade of sorrow
Face the trial of deaf ears
As falling November snow
Melts away to tears

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

It's ok. I'm writing from past experiences, at the moment things are good.

But I think we all carry a serenade of sorrow.

Never sigh for a better world, it's already composed, played and told.

We all stop, once in a while, and reflect on the past. Sad and otherwise. Writing helps the mood we are in for that day.
Some of my sad days I look back and try to remember the fun times that I would not have missed for the world.
