Pretending that I feel fine
A smile covers despair
Sadness is easily hidden
No one would be aware
I go off into a quiet place
When I am feeling low
There I shall cry for hours
No one would ever know
Its easy masking sorrow
If I keep it out of sight
Weeping tears in silence
As I hug my pillow tight
Only my pillow will know
Tears I cried over you
Heartache is never heard
When hidden from view
Those tears on my pillow
Shall be shed silently
Yearning goes unnoticed
Its hurt you cannot see
