adorned in melancholy
I am sleepless at midnight
occupied by your thoughts
my eyes shed tears
and I make necklace from those pearls
to hang myself
to sacrifice myself for love

your love has made me wither
I have lost all wishes
and my tendency to wish
is it human? is it sane?
is it moral? is it humane?
I am beyond questions now
I don't want answers
I just want to weep tirelessly
and repeat your name
all night long
as I am adorned in melancholy
sleepless and tired.
