Alover's Tears Poem by Iris Ixora

These flowing tears
Not because of my revenge
My hatred
My anger
Nor my anguish
For him - my ex lover.

These flowing tears
For my love
My adoration
My affection
My passion
For you - my lover.

Once these flowing tears
Were worthless
Each tear drop
Was shed in vain
Washed in rain
Straight into the drain
For him - my ex lover.

These flowing tears now
Too valuable
Each tear drop like a pearl
Too precious
For you - my lover.

Strange those flowing tears
Once for him
And now for you
Were the tears
From the same corner of my eyes
Which once were youthful
And now start to age
In a very different stage

But shall shed tears
no more
Only for him
for you - My lover.

Thank you MY GOD
For my lover.

(The translation of Airmata Seorang Kekasih)
