The Mask of Sorrow

I am sitting in a corner of a dark, empty room.

Asking myself what went wrong...

We were just happy crossing the street last year..

Holding hands of one another until we partways.

Why must this love has to end?

Was it me who you have to blame?

I've loved you with all my soul and breath..

I even surrendered with your embrace.

My world turned only for you,

I almost forgot to breathe when you go.

Why am I alone in this room?

Drowning in tears that you've caused.

Should I end up and stop trying..

and lose myself in a bottle of drinks.

Or lift my head to  face the world...

Wears up the mask of sorrow I fraud.
