I can see

The summer sun

Is shining, bright.

But in my heart

There is

No sun, no light.

How can the sun

Shine without you

Revelling in all the world,

Unhindered, eternally alive,

But unable enjoy it

With me!

How dare the sun

Shine, so bright

My pain increases

All the more,

No light, no light!

Where there is sun,

Where there is light

I always dampen

With my tears,

With my fright.

A lightning storm of pain,

An electric hurricane of anger

And a flood of tsunami tears.

You were cheated of your life,

Way beyond your years.

I treasure your memory forever,

Whether the sun shines or not,

No fear.
