Tragedy,
claimed its place in the night.
Broken and lonely hearts,
never to be mended.
Tragedy,
continues its search,
no one can hide from her.
Ther's no destruction,
that can vanish her.
Alcohol and drugs,
flirt with her,
and make her more tempting.
At dawn,
she regains her strength,
laughing at all the crying faces.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

I beg to differ with you "walker" but you put "Tragedy" as a HER. Sorry but "Tragedy" is a HE.

Very good, Walker but tragedy has no gender and no face. IT just hangs around for the unwary. Joyce
