Sorrows

Sorrows
Cameo Christine

As you wondered in the backyard
You searched for the perfect spot
With a tear stained face
You use your hands as a shovel
You removed the fresh dirt
Where you buried all your sorrows
Placed them beneath the earth

With your hands you smothered dirt
Covering the sadness you once knew
The many tears you've cried
The unbearable hurt you've felt
As they vanish, burdens lifted from your heart
The pain in your eyes is lost

Leaving footprints on the grave
You walk through the picket gate
And as it swings behind you
That chapter of your life has ended
Now you are broken but wiser and stronger
And you think of the way your world once was
Of the pain and the person you're leaving behind
You swear on everything you believe
That you wont let it happen again.
