Waiting All Alone

Where have you my love gone 
Leaving myself so alone? 
There are some things with me, 
Being to you still unknown. 
  
Every beat of my heart 
Comes taking just your name 
It seems ages since I last 
Saw you and last you came. 
No smile’s touched my lips 
Since you’ve my love gone! 
  
My eyes rain and rain. 
My heart burns with pain. 
My soul keeps in sobs. 
My mind shackled in your memory’s chain. 
Come bless my eyes with your sight, 
Or else, from the world I’m gone! 
  
You enjoy the company of others 
And the garden of my heart withers. 
You’ve made my life a sorrow, 
Wherein no happy event occurs. 
 You promise to meet and forget 
And I keep waiting alone! 
  
In the deep still of night 
When all is off my sight, 
In the mirror of my mind you peep 
And into my dreams creep, 
And when in the surprise of happiness, 
I stretch my arms, you are gone! 
  
When you are away my pretty doll, 
I’m just as a body without soul, 
As a fish out of water 
As a bird with no shelter, 
N’ the life-journey seems as walking 
Over thorns, with my feet fully torn. 
  
I, in the imprisonment of loneliness, 
Shackled in the chain of your promises, 
Let my gloomy eyes stare 
Far in the sky for roses, 
The roses of your lips,
Smiling to me in the morn. 
  
When the whole universe is asleep, 
My thirsty eyes are awake. 
The blood of the injuries of feelings 
Flows and flows as a lake. 
Come and see how is your lovelorn. 
I’m waiting for you all alone!
