Life\'s Intolerable Cruelty

by Jessica Charette   May 30, 2006


How could this life be oh-so cruel?
To give me that one painful rule
Not to live in a moment of happiness
But to live by yourself in loneliness
Life's humor isn't very bright
And how can I live thru this night?
Without out that warmth by my side
Living is just another parricide
Close to my self-riotous suicide
End my kindness here
End my hope in the clear
What else is here I ask?
What else is but my mask?
Hiding all of my sadness
Coming close to this madness
But in the end I must be happy
In order to live in this life
I must be tasting life's cold knife
It's ironic how they all laugh
"You deserve all of this pain!"
They rant and rave to drive me sane
But I hold onto to hope as a thinning string
This sad song I loathe to sing
Because in the end, I hope she is still here
To wipe away my last sorrowful tear
