Lost then found then lost for eternity; <br />Sadness, this is the story <br /> <br />Found <br /> <br />She found me against the assembled odds, <br />Lonely, my life blood flowin' <br />Like water on earth spreadin' <br />From beyond, I heard her voice, <br />A lost man is saved, <br />Her arrows have pierced <br /> <br />Lost <br /> <br />I had seen love lost on earth; <br />Like the beast hidden in hell <br />Its countenance bold; <br />At its discretion governin' the thunder <br />Tramplin' on its enemies defeated: <br />I had that happen, and happen again <br /> <br />Found <br /> <br />Then she came, and her love was good <br />Happiness in me who knew the sweetness <br />I felt young, in the shadow of her beauty; <br />The most charmin' dreams have nothin' <br /> <br />Comparable, comparable <br /> <br />The torrents of pleasure <br />She spread in my heart <br /> <br />Lost <br /> <br />Then she was gone and her love no more <br />Sadness in me who knows the bitterness <br /> <br />Sadness <br /> <br />Nothin' soothes, nothin' forgives; <br />Crazy heart abandoned <br />It awaits the return; <br />It excuses my weakness; <br />To get me down it hastens: <br />For the words she uncovered <br />Are all I know of affection <br />If I could share my love with her <br /> <br />Sadness <br /> <br />It shows there is no mercy <br /> <br />One of the not chosen <br />It has revealed its pain <br /> <br />Sadness <br /> <br />Could I share my love with her <br /> <br />Sadness <br /> <br />That it not be blessed, that it not be sung; <br />Though it will be known to me <br />Beyond time and age, <br />Beyond the eternity <br /> <br />© Cowboy Coleridge<br /><br />MacGregor Tagliaferro<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sadness-160/
