Scarred by Sadness

I am looking at the past
Through the eyes of presence
I am looking for sadness
In the midst of delight
To find it, so easy
To keep it, so complex
My best friend misery
Oh darling I've missed you

Take me in your arms
And do not let go

Scarred by sadness
Scarred for life
Marked by sorrow
Sweet, sweet demon of mine

Life is hard with no grief
Without the taste of defeat
So much joy to swallow
Hypocritical and hollow
To deny, to lie
What is wrong if you cannot cry
I am happy, just fine
On my talk till the day I die

Do not run away, away from me
Always stay close
Always close to me
Stay with me
Stay with me
