Sorrow

In the lengthened night
Of a hot September autumn
A woman stands alone
With sorrow by her side

Her silent estranged partner
Never speaking, ever silent
With the sound of weeping
To keep her through the night

Death was soon to follow
For the sorrow laden lass
Plagued with silent echoes
Buried in forgotten past

Never feeling, never seeing
The passion of the flame
Burning ever nearer
Longing for the stage

Curtains rise as columns
Sorrow laid to rest
Standing in the spot light
While the rest were laid to bed

And in that solemn ballad
Was the key to her release
Aching in the chamber
That had no lock or key

Bound to sorrow, laden
With fury deep inside
Soon was all forgotten
For the sweet September bride

A man was laid to rest
On the brightest of his days
While a woman left to cry
Slowly fades away

The garland starts to wither
From the golden crown of hair
The priestess remains
For the beauty of her life

Sorrow her companion
Love her empty dream
Husbandry of sorrow
Aching with her need
