Tonight I need nothing to be happy again
nothing more than tears blotting
transparent blood on the tablecloth
Tonight I need nothing to be happy again
Tonight I shall forever cry
for the canary which stopped its fluid sun
filling the corners of its cage
Tonight I shall forever cry
Tonight I do not want new happiness
but the sad loss of bygone hours
the silenced stride of the family clock
Tonight I do not want new happiness
Tonight I shall be unhappy forever
Tonight I need nothing to be happy again
Tonight I shall forever cry
Tonight I shall be unhappy forever

So much truth in this work of sadness .. I do relate, so many nights thinking it would never end, sorrow held my soul so tight it left me gasping for breath .. how glorious it is when we finally rise to feel the glory of a mornings sun .. Have faith, your sun will rise and that night will become yesterday
You are a brilliant writer Myrataal, I have a lot of respect for you and your work. Excellent expression ...

This reminds me of someone I used to be. A surreal, sad piece. I have a mental picture of this whole poem.

Sometimes sorrow is permanent, Jacqueline; but I try to stay positive ... and to believe in a Planned Destiny.
