Sorrow

You're not the only one you know
Who feels adrift at sea
The only one a load to tow
Who feels lost, afraid and empty

You're not the only one you know
Who's felt they've lost their way
Who's heart's been lost to sorrow
and cannot face another day

You're not the only one you know
Who can't seem to find the light
Who's burdened by profound woe
Who's lost the will to fight

But, you are the only one you know
Who has my heart bound up by chain
Pierced by painful, trenchant arrow
Leaving scars its walls to stain
