This feverishness,
I want to hide.
I hate gaining sympathy
being in the limelight
for something that is going on within me,
be it a sickness of the body
or of emotions.
These hot tears,
I want to hide.
I don’t feel love,
I feel empty.
It’s not that I cannot show what I feel,
but that I do not want to show
what I feel
to anyone except him.
