The Unsung Songs With parched throat and cracking voice, I tried to sing the song of life, Where love abounds and happiness reigns, But no words came out of my mind, Those whom I loved deserted me, Turned my life into a fearful farce, Snatched my happiness with their lies, Just to keep up an honest face, My rhythm broke, the music faded, Into the darkest recesses of soul , Frozen along with grief of betrayal, Shattering my belief in humanity all, Song of peace remained unsung, Tear choked throat lost its voice, Deep wounds inflicted on my mind, Took away melodies of every kind.
