Sorrow

You haunted me as a child
You loved to torture me
You took my innocence
You impregnated my every thought
I fought you with all that was in me
With all that I could but you returned
We fought for another year or so
I beat you for 4 years and you returned
We fought again for a couple of months
You keep getting stronger and I don’t know how
I win again for 5 years
I see you, bigger, stronger, and cleverer than ever
Finish me or let me be

Did you ever hear of a warrior named Joan
Who conquered the hearts that were made out of stone
Delivering parries simplicity true
If you dare to let her she'll conquer you too

She hears when the orphan is drowning in tears
And hears silent suffering founded in fears
Her heart cannot reckon such fate of dispair
Sweeping tears from the lad with locks of her hair

She sees when the sweltering need gentle breeze
So pursed lips prepared, the zephyr is offered
Soothed blistering bias with breadth in a tease
Power so soaring she wields by decree

She tastes the deception in spurious minds
And spits back the faux hidden counterfeit signs
Dissecting to expose the gulf that is there
And sharing the bourdon of truth we must bare

She sheds warmth on shadow that hides in the night
And takes them to bathe in her piercing delight
If one can manage to dodge this display
She turns up the heat to melt their winter day

If you should hear joyful and clarion sound
Hope that it might be her treasure you found
Her jewels with soft edges will cut you inside
Delivering tenderness there to abide
