A Drop of Sorrow
"a dagger of pain, a tear of grief"
~ Constance La France
"A dagger of pain, a tear of grief"
I stagger again in sheer disbelief
A lifetime of ache, a twinge of hurt
A prime heartbreak, I cringe in discomfort
A sting of distress, a twist in fate
I sing to suppress dismissed hope's dictate
A lament of woe, a prick of stress
This torment slow, a trick of love's caress
A drop of sorrow, a pang of throes
It'll stop tomorrow, this clang of shadows
