What’s sorrow ?
It’s a wound that can’t be healed,
the suffering of a mother
that don’t want to give up,
the cries of a child that is looking
for love,
the loss of a beloved person.
What’s sorrow ?
It’s a knot in the throat that makes
you chock,
it’s a bitter memory
that makes you torment,
it weighed heavily on your conscience
you can’t relieve,
It’s to sacrifice your life
and never be understood,
It’s wish to help
and incapacity to accomplish it.
Who doesn’t know what’s sorrow?
those who don’t know what’s love
and enjoy making feel pain,
they mortify with sarcastic words
without any scruple,
it’s so immense sorrow,
it cannot be described in words.
