Chrysanthemum Terrace

Why are there tears

in your gentle eyes?

The ghostly white moon

seems to turn back time.

The night's too long,

freezing into ice.

Who is coldly

gazing outside?

Rain softly falls

on sunset walls.

My spirit recalls

the time we belonged.

Dreams are out of sight

in the dead of night.

Your silhouette

fades with the light.

Flowers wilt

in the ground.

Your sweet smile

is waning now.

My heart wants to break

when I see

you so lonely.

Harsh winds howl

in the skies.

Your shadow

seems to cry.

Only my reflection keeps me

company.
