Verse after verse
Pain after Pain
Nothing really changing
but nothing stays the same
A life enters the world
and so the poem begins
An account of all his accomplishments
and in turn all her sins

Verse after verse
Pain after pain
Nothing really changing
but nothing stays the same
Everything she says
in her short time
will be put to paper
will be put to rhyme

Verse after verse
Pain after pain
Nothing really changing
but nothing stays same
Each time he is hurt
Every time he is saddened
When his heart is filled with pain
another verse is added
And so the poem continues
Until the day has come
when others will be saddened
And this life is no more
The final verse is added

Verse after verse
Pain after pain
Nothing really changing
but nothing stays the same
