What is sorrow

He was left with two choices;
either to live a life without sorrow,
or to go against all the odds,
and choose to love as if there's no tomorrow.

They thought they had won,
the people of that doomed guild.
Little did they know, they were outdone,
His longing for love was of another build.

The choice was the easiest,
as he had already made his.
Even so, he decided to quench his thirst,
by giving into that peripheral quiz.

What is sorrow, he asked them.
What is love, they reverted.
"It will find you, the day will come,
at the least expected time", he said.

You'll find yourselves thrive,
even in the deepest avalanche,
it will be the last leaf alive,
on a worm-ridden branch.

It will hit you by surprise,
yet you would've been expecting it.
It will cause you many cries,
yet you'll laugh like you never did.

Alas, my lords, I've made my choice,
Whatever you meant by sorrows,
I choose to love and rejoice;
and live a life of todays, not tomorrows.
