Far before this time their lived a girl, Tristitia she lived in Romania

            Her best friend’s name was Solitudinem who was from Germania

            No one else saw her friend,

 she would always blend in the crowd

Tristitia felt like she was wrapped in a shroud

Solitudinem was never found

In pain Tristitia fell to the ground

Why were her thoughts so loud?

 Tristitia’s heart began to pound

Tristitia walked to the ocean

With her plan set in motion

She began to drown

Not one cry from the town

Left there to rot

How did no one spot

The pain she had felt

The price finally dealt

This was the end

She fought

The girl time forgot

Tristitia- is Latin for sadness.
