Sorrow

SORROW

The sun set never to rise again

then darkness fell and winter winds blew.

Sadness and grief now abound

where gardens of flowers once grew.

Silence came with the wind
the sound of it was deafening.
Where laughter and song once were the rule
the quiet was unrelenting.

The place once filled with love and joy
now is but a hole.
So deep and endless does it go
through my heart and into my soul.

That part of me which is now gone
is a loss sorely felt.
Because it is that emptiness
the place that you once dwelt.

So alone I sat in that empty place
and with a heavy heart I cried
the tears of pain and sorrow
because a friendship has died.
