Illusions of Love and Betrayal

How could the lover be killed so far from the beloved,

But in the face of your promise, this tradition did not exist.

In the gathering tonight, your beauty was the highlight,

But when I looked at the candle’s face, I realized it wasn’t light.

He used to speak of my remembrance so vividly,

But when I arrived, he said, 'Well, this mention wasn’t true.

The upbringing of sorrow in your absence,

Was it that there was no wound in the heart, no scar?
