Secret Sorrow

I have a secret sorrow 
that weeps for every tomorrow

It awakens from its gloomy sleep, 
arising from the dark and deep 

Filling my heart with aching sadness 
driving me to the brink of madness 

Secret memories, silent tears 
invading ghost from long ago years 

Does time ease the grief and pain 
or do they return like the wrath of rain 

Aching, restless, a sleepless night 
the moon sings a sad lullaby 

Awaiting the sun's silent return 
a lonely heart grieves and secretly yearns
