Sad tonight
by apoorvmat
Laughter won’t roll, I’ll be sad tonight
You don’t console, I’ll be sad tonight
The oh-so-sweet words, that puppy face
They have no soul, I’ll be sad tonight
I show a brave face, I keep my chin up
But my heart has a hole, I’ll be sad tonight
‘Tis not their naked tyranny, but their slippery guile
That’s taken its toll, I’ll be sad tonight
The pain is incessant, I hurt from within
Walking on hot coal, I’ll be sad tonight
Is being naïve worse than being stupid?
You can take a poll, I’ll be sad tonight
A sentimental fool, an emotional wreck
Being sad is my goal, I’ll be sad tonight
