Amargura

Bitterness

Relentlessly chasing me
her laughing mouth,
stalking my sleepless nights
that cruel memory,
my own eyes saw
how she offered him
the kiss of her lips
red as a carnation.
A wind of madness
crossed my mind,
disrupted by bitterness
I wanted to avenge myself,
my hands clenched,
my chest restrained them,
her laughing mouth
I couldn't kill.

Her one-day love
was all my fortune,
I shared my joy
with the fields and the moon.
For loving her so much,
for trusting her,
today in my wake
there's only tears and my pain.

Sorrowful and defeated
my old wound bleeds.
Let's have another drink
for I want to forget,
but these deep sorrows
of love and disillusionment
like weeds
are hard to uproot.
From the bottom of my cup
her image haunts me,
it's like a sentence
her laughter always the same,
flirtatious and ruthless
her mouth chains me,
she mocks me to death
the ungrateful in the glass.
