" WHEN YOU WENT AWAY "

(poetry)

Fátima Queiroz

When you went away I was so sad

That my sadness turned torment

I regret the longing that still persists

Wounded soul of suffering.

When you went away I hugged the mourning

And the blackness of the solitude

Inside of me a rude emptiness

The pain of a weeping without echo, in vain.

When you went away, the bitterness

It settled in my heart

It remained the pain, crucial torture

And nothing else. Only night and darkness.

Oh! I suffer yes, but I suffer with the certainty

That in a future, in another reality

When He orders the fatal feat

Together we will be in the eternity!
