Shed a Tear

I mustn’t shed a tear
Even though the one I love isn’t here

I thought you loved me
But now I know that is not true

But I loved you
Now what am I to do?

You said you will return soon
But now I fear that is a lie

When will you return?
Will you return soon?

If you return
I dedicate this poem to you

Once you return
You mustn’t shed a tear

For once you return
I will no longer be here
