Night of betrayal

I was sad for you, Leana. You left me treacherously and cowardly.

By Kisama Riyo Published about a year ago 2 min read

I grieved for you, Leana, with grief

You left me treacherously and cowardly

And you, Leana, do you know that I

Forgot the betrayal when it came

Spent a thousand nights on your separation

Cried for you when our eyelids cried

I thought we would see from love

A wide space that would suffice as a safety for you

But I will not stay away from you

Even if I stayed with you for a century

I lied to the heart of this young man until

I stole his heart when he approached

I left his heart to sadness for an age

And I thought that loyalty is a stingy assumption

And your promise is an old Achilles' tendon promise

And you lied... when you preferred sadness

And when you took possession of my heart, you said: I am

Your lover and your love enriched

Your love impoverished the world and you threw

humiliation upon me, and you wanted to stab me

You buried the heart with intense sadness

So I told it: You did not mean to bury

I will remain sad in my life

Because you wounded the heart with meaning

I found you loyal When

I found that your love for me desired

On the ruins I cry for what has passed

Your betrayal that made you a hostage

If isolation imprisoned me alone

I killed the great loneliness and humiliated

I hid you in the heart and fled from it

And expanded the heart for what perishes

I perished and your love melted in my heart

I turned my ear away from the gossipers

So is the night of betrayal delicious?

And does loneliness give you an ear?!

And blame exposes you in the morning of separation

And it did not cover you on the day you were sad

And here I am remaining and faithful

And it did not expose you on the day you were tired
