My heart is heavy
With the sadness inside it.
Outside in the sky
The crescent moon shines
With a smile not meant for me.
I am in the park
Walking with my memories.
It’s a summer day
A small child plays on the swing
With a smile not meant for me.
Spring has arrived
With melodies in the breeze.
Colorful bouquets
Peek from the florist’s window
With a smile not meant for me.
I pick up the shells
Strewn on the golden sand.
Every ocean wave
Curves as it bobs up and down
With a smile not meant for me.
