No, you didn’t come and call me; I didn’t open the door.
I had a tryst with my heart, secretely at dead of night,
You’ll come and knock, I would open the door.
No, you didn’t come, called me and I didn’t opened the door.
I was awake many a night, painful dw dropped like wax.
It seemed as if you’ve come
But you didn’t come, tiny bells of your feet ringing.
Your footsteps roused no murmur among the dry leaves.
No, you didn’t come and call me; I didn’t open the door.
Intense darkness settles on my lips
My passed my time all by myself
Like a soundless solitary room, all alone
O Dawn, you didn’t come, bring light of the morning.
