More Precious Than Pearls

I Am No One


You don’t love me,
Yet look, how deeply I feel for you within this heart,
Still, how much it burns for you.
By your words, I am no one to you.
But if I am truly no one,
Then tell me, why do I remember you so much?



I Am the Trouble


And then I realized,
All the chaos revolves around me,
As if I am the root of all destruction.
I imagined a world without me,
And found everything to be beautiful,
Just as beautiful as a freshly bloomed flower.



Prayer and Value


Prayer can change destiny,
Perhaps value can too.
As prayer can bring the impossible within reach,
Without value, even what’s in your grasp slips away.



Blind in Love


I was not born blind.
Then one day I looked into a pair of eyes,
And fell in love with them.
Since then I’ve felt,
There are no other eyes in the world but those,
Or maybe there are,
But I can no longer see anything else.



More Precious Than Pearls


You are hidden in my heart,
Just as an oyster hides its pearl within.
To me, you are more precious than any pearl.
And precious things bring the fear of losing them,
But I don’t want to lose you.
So I also wish,
No one else but you knows of your place in my heart.



Shame


Losing, I’ve lost everything,
Yet still, I’ve lost no shame.
The very act that ruins me, I repeat again.
Only this weary body is left to lose now.
Once that too is gone, my tale will end.
Then I won’t be shameless as I am today,
Won’t offer myself for free anymore,
For in death, my shame shall finally be born.



Mistake


Why I loved you,
I have no answer.
Only the Almighty knows that truth.
But at least I’ve felt,
How grave a mistake it was to love you,
Even my soul has realized that.



Deserving of Love


Before ruin, a lover never knows,
True love only earns pitch-black deception.
Yet no matter what, I’ll never betray,
I’ll keep on loving the one who thought I would.
Ask around and see,
How gently she shattered the heart that loved her most.



Convincing Myself


At last, I stopped voicing regrets.
I began to convince myself,
Those things weren’t meant for me,
That’s why the Creator didn’t give them.
He grants only what is truly good.



My Wish


You know, I too wish deeply,
That there’d be someone of my own,
Someone who’d love me,
Someone who’d truly understand me.
Someone who, the moment I’m out of sight,
Would start looking for me.
