lamentation
Lamentation is a form of poem written in teardrops to honor what has been lost. It often serves as evidence of the mourner's self-indulgence, its depth measured not by the weight of sorrow but by the need for attention. The echoes of grief highlight the emptiness in the heart rather than fill it. Sometimes cloaked in religious solemnity, it is in fact merely a pretext to hide guilt and laziness. One cries it out loud seeking solace, only to be seduced into the eternal sleep of oblivion by its own refrain.
