What Is Sorrow?

What is sorrow?
It's waiting outside in the rain
for someone who won't show.
It's being unable to finally let go.

What is sorrow?
It's a life that remains untouched
by the beauty of love.
It's the lack of strength to rise above.

What is sorrow?
It's a cry that goes unanswered,
a cry that no one hears.
It's losing the ones that you hold dear.

What is sorrow?
It's looking at your life
and watching it come apart.
It's a broken, weeping heart.
