Neverlasting sorrow

Neverlasting sorrow

O peace, welcome peace as I pick, piece myself together,

Not sorrow, nor joy, nor hatred ever last forever

The feelings are deep, intense but the mind oh so clever

Jolt it does through your system for all sad thoughts to sever

♦

Ten, twenty, thirty, yet life will surprise you whenever

You think you have controlled it, built a dam on the river

For the impetuous flow within, will sweep you wherever

Its course lies, none of us can change, be it with a lever
