Sitting in Sorrow

The dim light over the park bench has gone out

And gloom perches on our shoulders

The fire in us fades with the wind

The river of tears has ran dry

Disappointment follows like a shadow

Regret creeps like a thief in the night

Happiness buries itself in the ground

And smiles disappear like the setting sun

Misery rolls in with the fog

The days seem longer and the nights seem darker

Emptiness becomes normal

We are stuck in a maze looking for answers

Each turn is another wall of nothing

Feeling lost doesn’t seem to be troublesome

So we sit on the park bench waiting for the light to shine again
