Joy

Joy is common

Joy is sorrowfully forgotten

Joy leads our desires

Joy is our desire

Joy can’t be shown from me

Joy you will never see from me

Joy, will lead to pitfalls

Joy, will lead to landfalls

Joy, will lead to heartbreak

Or to your big break

Joy, will do many things

But joy for me, never sings

Joy will tell you what you want

Joy, it will taunt

Joy will one second be yours

The next, it only lures

Assuring you in that second torment

You will think that it only meant

To leave you bent

It is only meant to disarm

And to charm

Joy is common

And sometimes sadly forgotten

Joy leads out desires

Joy is our desire

Joy will lead to heartbreak

Or your big break

 

Joy will do many things

But for me, never sings

Joy can’t be shown from me

Joy you will never see from me

Smiles are no more

Not like they were before

 

Joy is a wonderful thing

But for me, will never sing

And never will

For the pain of it is too much

I have chosen it to part

So joy stopped it’s shows in my heart

Joy may have many names

But for me it has more shames

And takes away people’s will

Though it never will for me

Because my heart's in pain

Just get me to open it and see

At least my heart will never again

Murder me

When Joy's shows are over

And Sadness's begins
