Sat Up In Bed And Shed Two Tears Poem by Ravi Kopra

How can I forget
my sorrows, my regrets?
What limit is there to my grief?
You left me as if in a dream.

I woke up hearing the rooster's call.
Sat up in bed and shed two tears.
With whom will I have my morning coffee?
With whom will I go for the ride
on mountain roads in the country?

I remember those clear spring scenes.
My life has lost its meaning now
My heart is empty
You disappeared as if in a dream.

-inspired by How Can a Man Escape Life's Sorrow and Regret? Midnight Song in Chinese by Li Yu
