A RAINY NIGHT

 

Where are the women

on this rainy night?

 

On this night,

pain strikes my soul.

I am cold,

my chest hurts,

my body aches,

I have anguish in my heart.

 

I feel that depression

has invaded me,

and she is cancer’s wife.

Dressed like a squid,

he will come to bite

my copper-lined body.

 

Where are the women

on this rainy night?

 

Where are they?

Today they could show me

their flirtatious side

and dazzle me

with their smiles,

fresh and sparkling like snow.

 

False women,

witches from hell,

liars,

who told me publicly

“I love you, my darling”

“Sweetheart, you wrote a poem for me.”
