Chimes of silence

entry picture

Everything, everything you gave my soul was sorrow
chimes of silence fill my melancholy,
among tears the naked word
lets its moan be heard...

Each tear has its scar,
each word ingratitude
Is this crucifixion or is love salvation?

The bitterness of all is your sordid ruthlessness,
the remoteness, where there is nothing,
just a corpse in my bed;
the sight of your wretchedness increases my grief 

Though I live in your oblivion, my love is not silent;
it’s in your eyes where the fire and my hopes emerge
and the more you turn away the more I love you

You will cry, cry…
the farewell won’t break the chains of betrayal
you will cry…
