Secret Tears

This is the blues. It's a tearjerker.

You possess a love that only few people have.

And you are quite an unpredictable woman.

I could not foresee this doleful outcome.

You loved me, and then you walked out on me,

But a part of me keeps thinking about you.

My smile is gone, and I wear a dull face every day.

I do not want to experience the blues forever.

And only you can take away my forlornness.

 

I have cried secretly since you went away,

But my secret tears cannot ease the hurt.

The loss of your love still affects me severely.

How much longer can I conceal the tears?

I wonder if the pain of loneliness will ever subside.

The prolonged solitude has saddened my heart.

Where is the serenity that I had once?

I am alone, and it is so hard to live without you.

 

Tonight seems to be the loneliest night of my life.

My bed linen feels as cold as the snow.

I have sincerely spoken apologetic words,

But I just cannot get through to you.

Tears of sorrow keep falling from my eyes.

And my anguish is growing stronger.

Darling, I am still longing for your love.

Maybe this poem will persuade you to return.

 

I cannot bury the best love of my yesteryear.

Remember the old songs that we used to play.

The rhythms made us dance and sway.

What became of the sweet-sounding melodies?

It seems that the end of the world is near.

Time will not go on for me if you are not here.

What can I do to arouse compassion in you?

I cannot shed secret tears for you anymore.
