Chains Of Sorrow Poem by Ong Kar Jin

My heart darkens in sorrow,
Struck by death's arrow.
Shan't I perish for thy love;
Or flutter away like a dove?

For peace is gone; despair is near,
Joy abandoned me; grief is here.
Why have thou left me alone, cold
in the dark, surrounded by evil souls?

O' let me free from thy manacles!
It is poison, killing me so subtle!
O' let me go! Open thy steel chains!
Take my life, and end my pain!

My soul drowns in sorrow,
For me, no more tomorrow
