The Art Of Writing Sad Songs

How do you make
sadness beautiful?
Please learn me the art of
writing sad songs
Can I just drop
my tears into it now
And then they will flow
into a melody on its own?

Or do I need to catch my heartache
and make it substantial
by words and a tune
And then to make it
even more sad
to refrain it
from all hope?

But how do I add the beauty
Do you have the recipe
for that
My tears keep on falling
And they don’t feel
like diamonds
But more like stones

I think to really learn the art
of writing sad songs
I need to learn it in a duet
with you
But then probably
It won’t be sad anymore
but it will be just a happy song
