My love is my Sadness

Today I received an unexpected blow
But not like that, not what I'd like
It's the kind of blow that could scar you for life,
It's the kind of blow that inspires fright.
I woke up this day with high hopes and expectations
But Sour gave me a horrid ovation.
I would hope to be shot in the heart with Cupid's bow,BUT NO!
I was struck through the breast by Sorrow's black knife
I can't believe that this same life
That could possibly string Cupid's bow
Could throw that black knife of Sorrow
Then a tear trickles down my cheek
How could I be so meek
As to not notice the black knife of Sorrow
That laid in the opposite hand of the bow.
An unnoticable Love has been there forever
My conscience thought that it was clever
It thought it could keep this one away from me
But can my inner-self lose, this cannot be
So with the Stars my inner-voice has teamed
They, with each other, have beamed
My Love's Love to someone close
Can I feel Pain any worse?
Tonight the Sandman won't cast me one grain
For his kingdom of slumber is no domain
Worth the sight of my Pain...
As I stand on this cliff, looking forth
I've decided to let Coincidence's river take over
To take me to no particular destination
FOR I DEFY YOU STARS!
You've done nothing for me
Besides leaving me here, all alone
With only my skin and bone
You've taken all that matters!
You've stolen Love!
