Tears that don’t shed themselves

Seeming as if it will be shed any moment,

Why does this droplet of a tear,

Not release from the eye?

 

Even if there’s no smoke,

It is not as if there is nothing

Burning inside me.

 

As I look within,

Why  do I not find

My soul inside me?

 

Surrounded by a crowd,

Why can I not find someone

Who belongs to me?

 

The smile on my lips,

How many can it fool?

It is not as if

My heart is not crying within me.
