I KEEP TEARS: editor's choice, twice

I KEEP TEARS


I keep tears from others’ eyes,
Secluded in my heart.
That’s the place where they belong,
That is where they did start.

They are precious possessions,
Never to be let loose.
They are a part of my love;
To others, of no use.

Why cry in front of others
And bring bad name to love?
I have faith in whom I love
And in my god above.

I know my love will come back,
We will be one again.
Till then my tears I will shed
And harbour constant pain.
