Lament of Sorrow Date: Wednesday, 25th January 2017 @ 04:56:46 PM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: whiteleo1984 Why do you haunt me, Morpheus? Is my agony not enough? Why do you torture me, Thanatos? Is my despair not enough? Do you enjoy my pain, Eros, while your kin takes away my heart? How can you ignore me, Hypnos? Do my tears not reach your realm? Has Chronos told you, Achlys, to keep me in my torment? Now, Deimos, you rule in my world, while Eirene flees from me. Elpis does not hear my prayers and the Morai laugh at my desires. Moros is in my future and Nike does not care. For Oizys is in my hands and not even Zeus can save me. Why do you haunt me, God of Dreams? Is my agony not enough? Why do you torture me, Lord of Death? Is my despair not enough? Do you enjoy my pain, God of Love, while your kin takes away my heart? How can you ignore me, Lord of Sleep? Do my tears not reach your realm? Has the Lord of Time told the Lord of Misery and Sadness to keep me in my torment? Now, Fear rules in my world while Peace flees from me. Hope does not hear my prayers and Fate laughs at my desires. Doom is in my future and Victory does not care. For Misery and Woe is in my hands and not even the Ruler of the Universe can save me.
