Eclipse

The sadness I feel, I can not reveal, nor do I wish it known

Burning tears contain all my fears and melt me to the bone

Like molten steel, welding lips, to conceal words that would flow

The devil sneers, a demon jeers, but hell I already know

 

My head throbs, involuntary sobs, turn to uncontrollable spasms

My body\'s shaking, convulsions quaking, all in sorrow\'s chasms

Hope it robs, my gullet bobs, I fall into despair

My breath it\'s taking, my will it\'s breaking, no one will care

 

To gain relief, from unquenchable grief, I look to a new day

Night will clear, the last tear and chase misery away

The hour\'s thief makes life so brief, but love never dies

The sun will cheer and us steer, on to brighter skies
