Sorrow Or Sweet
I sing to you, my dear
This song so sweet it must be sorrow
This sorrow, too sweet to be so?
Do I even know
When sorrow hides behind the sweet
Hidden too, am I
Do I try?
Or do I put an effort
Just to feel alright
But how can sweet be sorrowful?
How can sharp be dull
How can light be dark
How do I part these feelings from each other?
Can I part these feelings from my mind?
Maybe they hold me secure
I love you, and that I’m sure
This sureness is what I crave
But how can sure be sure
If what taken can easily be gave?
What security do I want
What bond do I need
Do I see the sorrow?
Or do I need the sweet?
This I have
But can I keep?
Are you mine
Or am I yours
Where lies the floor, I cannot see
This love will never leave
Though like a lid upon a jar
The contents, might it pour?
Or sturdy does the table stay
Sturdily can I say
Do you love me too?
You know I’ll never leave you
I know you won’t leave me
But happy, can I be?
When still I cannot tell
The sorrow from the sweet.
It brings me back around
Down the stairs and on the ground
I have the question
It will stay
Any day, will I know?
What is it that I’m feeling
Do I need you so
Or do I love being with you?
Know you’ll never go
Is this the sweet I’m looking for?
The security I hold?
Or is this feeling stronger
Not of pleased, but need
Do I want, or love to keep?
These thoughts will linger on
I’ll never know what’s wrong
Or what is right
Are these thoughts of sorrow?
Wanting more
Or are these thoughts of sweetness
Having what I adore
But do I have you?
Or you have me?
Still can’t tell sorrow from sweet.
I’ll have to move on
The cycle stays
Every day I’m spinning
Thinking, to myself
Am I wanting Heaven?
Or do I run from Hell?
Sugar and spice
Sorrow and love
Which lies in front of me?
Which can I keep?
Though I love you so deeply
I’ll sing on, this lullaby
Sing my dear to sleep
Still cycling are these thoughts
Is it sorrow
Or is it sweet?
As you slumber on, my love
This love and thought, I still will keep.
But are these thoughts sorrow or sweet?
