1. His love was once true,
Promising and kind,

2. But now his heart is cruel,
Though our bond was entwined.

3. His gaze once tender,
His heart once soft.

4. But now in love he's faithless,
His cheek smooth as oft.

5. My teasing friend, though
Your lids make my tears flow.

6. You own my body and soul,
My heart and its woe.

7. Don't ask me to leave love,
When I'm no less obsessed.

8. And if your jest is death,
How can I take it in jest?

9. You visited in the dark,
Before dawn lit its gems.

10. So master and slave conversed,
Yet you spurned my laments.

11. The more I said you were near,
The further you'd flee.

12. You control my hell and heaven,
As you desire to be.

13. You're surely my murderer,
So why should I blame another?

14. My troubles have ceased,
Since you tightly gripped your tether.

15. When a lover goes astray,
His reason is never best.

16. With a charming glance,
He plucks a rose with his chest.

17. If you wish to wrong me,
Say the moon has waned.

18. His crescent has thinned,
As the dawn light gained.
