A Crying Girl
by YO’LDOSh ESHBEK
A grievous girl, now you leave in depth,
Your steps echo in this solemn garden,
Your sufferings vast as the world’s breadth,
Your tears shed like stars, each one a burden.
Your eyes shed in sorrow and caress,
The burning drops are finding no more words,
Losses weigh heavy, a meeting’s distress,
Shedding tears, each like silver swords.
No, someone deceived you, it is true,
He might have loved you, but no, he lied,
Arrows pierced, oh, what a rue,
Deception cuts deep, tears cried.
From your chest, falls the approaching hour,
Poisons drip and flowers slowly weep,
Memories fade, losing their power,
Conscience cut deep and the shadows steep.
Dishonesty wears honor’s mask,
Conscience’s anguish in every hour,
Innocent days, they’re an impossible task,
Mistakes grow, a thorny flower.
I cannot soothe, I always lack the strength,
You’re my past, a part of my life,
From my heart I wish you sorrows at length,
Wish you a joyous song, silent in strife.
Wishing deception upon you, many a day,
To be deceived, understanding the world’s art,
Tears shed, not just wiped away,
Deception’s fight, it’s a start.
Cry hard, boil over, let it flow,
Grind teeth, tears in a river wide,
Ten brave sons, a hundred in tow,
A thousand sons, tears as a tide.
Gluttons and robbers live too long,
In a world where fraud is so real,
This world is ruled by liars strong,
A crying girl, that’s how you feel!
I cannot join you in your weeping,
My head bows low in silent pain,
I’ll always be there, never fleeting,
I love you, crying girl, again!
