I had recently composed this poem in German. My translation method here is somewhat liberal. I hope you will enjoy my work with the words in their English transformation.
immediate
enforced
no final contact
warning failed
despaired devastation,
destroying humiliation
inevitable
self-respect, departed
massive grief, incapable of solace
too late to await
to expect at last
that what was evidenced
many years ago…
now
a mere I without a name

waited
right from the outset
ingesting all signals
subtle but intense
had the courage to cite
a woman’s invite to unite
an elite member of times long past
from the Empire of the Ottomans, at last
yet, the choice, firm, had been made
with not one miniscule hope left
waited
right from the outset
this time, it is the end
must stop waiting to any further extent
for tomorrow’s ills are still to be met

Picture and Image Source: True Love never dies
While, in my view, nothing in life is ever as simple as the text above concludes, the heart, in immense despair, still tends to agree with the claim.
heart slows its beat
bloodrush in the head
at every grasp of the loss
asleep, awake,
or in a dreaming state
ears, deafened to sounds
eyes, blinded to colors
trembling voice in constant tears
thirst, hunger serves only to numb
elation departs
to leave behind
a fatal craving
to carry on and on
death comes
yet, not to kill
condemns to life
that undying void inside
