Secret

Tears swell in my eyes,

It is no surprise.

My heart was broken yet again.

To and fro I'm rocking,

Softly to myself I'm talking,

My sorrows aren't there, I pretend.

I put on a smile

When all the while

The tears still fall inside.

But I mustn't forget

And later regret,

My sister mustn't know I've cried.
