Every fire in my heart,

Bleeding embers—
Scorching embers,
My heart is their destination.

My soul passionately loves anguish,
My spirit craves the ache,
So it yearned for it, and yearned for her.
I've craved and pined,

Every weeper, after my wailing,
All who weep after me
Shows off by feigning tears.
Boast of their weeping.
