Historical Romance 古言
The world is cruel, and people are cold. Rain falls at dusk, and flowers easily fall. The morning breeze dries the tears on my cheeks. I long to write down my thoughts, alone against the slanted railing. How hard! How hard! How hard! We are apart now, and nothing is as it was. My ailing soul swings like a tether. The horn sounds in the cold, and night draws on. Afraid someone will ask, I swallow my tears and force a smile. Hide it! Hide it! Hide it!
