“It strikes me now that poets are great sufferers; they seem to have more than double the nervous sensitivity of the average person. They may experience exceptional joys, but their sorrows too are boundless. This being the case, it’s worth thinking twice before you become a poet.”

Natsume Soseki

Darling, when you lose that grin, I turn away in tears.

‘Cause I know the melancholy song that follows,

and each tune’s never easy to hear.

She sings out of key, lips tremble with a chill;

eyes like a furnace, she’s goin’ in for the kill.

No I couldn’t leave her side this time.

Even though she never asked for this rhyme.

’cause no one knows the woman inside; no.

They never bothered to break through the pain in her

azure eyes.

Waving away a broken Angel, never wondering what’s stowed inside,

why she weeps through nights, why her smile only shines,

with a gentle hand at her side.
