The Weeping of Sorrow

Sorrow...
  and Sorrow weeps ageless tears
throughout her timeless years
as she wanders endlessly
veiled in red stained tears,
gray velvet dress, and
long black hooded cloak.
She remains tangled in the knowing
that many wish their name she had never spoke.
Sorrow...


 There is an alter ego which
dwells in every soul...

I'm not sure about the second to last line? Can you tell me what it means?  If I may ask?  I was saddened by this but it was well written.

Bojopy,
I too had a bit of trouble with my own line there....I was attempting to state that Sorrow has trouble with the knowledge that others do not wish / desire her.
Any suggestions? They would be much appriciated!

I am so very glad that all enjoy my words as you do....It makes my darkness a bit brighter each time that one of you comments...
I thank you all so very much for understanding my twisted little ways...
Once again.....Many Many thank yous...

a-alibaster I think I would have used the line "that many wish her name they had never spoke"  I think it goes well with the sorrow topic.  As if you may have damaged someone with your sorrow.  What do you think?

Ahh..a-alibaster. This poem was deeply sad. I do love the picture of the woman in the cloak.

Question: I think I know you..don't I? If I do, then I'll never utter a word! Count on it.   I'm looking forward to more, Friend.

I too, liked the image you created of a woman in a hooded cloak, it fit the description of sorrow well.
