With decorated eyes,
gazing, without ever blinking,
I sit by the path, awaiting You.

You gave me Your word
but did not keep it;
You told me You would return
but did not come.

You poured forth a soft smile
and went away far.
Coming face to face to me,
why did You decide to hide in the back?

Taking my heart,
why do You play this game?
You gave me assurance
and took all my love.

By deluding me with hope,
why did You make me cry?

By the end of the night,
all flowers had dried
and the flowers of my garland
had withered away,
leaving behind only the thread.

Still, in the morning
I kept observing the eastern sky,
expecting Your return with the new sun.
