قاف

Mountaintop

Falling rain taught me; You are stronger than me1
Might not be your way each time
Memories steal the sleep from my eyes
Feels down, down under, when you are away
And your heart seems to be on a mountaintop1
Nobody else is in my life
Why should I lie?
So much longing does neither of us good
No rain on your side
Not much longing
Any idea how long I’ve been longing?
 
Don’t do this to me
Don’t keep away
Not funny
Will kill me, really
Don’t go, not like that, it’s tough
Why there is no mercy in your heart?
Who understands me but you and your heart?
 
Left me all in weeps and sighs, with awaiting eyes
If only scissors could cut you from all our memories
Loving you is not a crime
Longing for you so much makes me barely alive
A distant dream
 
Don’t do this to me, don’t keep away
Not funny, will kill me, really
Don’t go, not like that, it’s tough, why so cruel in heart?
Who understands how I feel but you and your heart?
Don't you leave like that
What makes your heart so cruel?
Who else would understand me but you and your heart?
 
Don’t do this to me
Don’t keep away
Not funny
Will kill me, really
Don’t go, not like that, it’s tough
Why there is no mercy in your heart?
Who understands me but you and your heart?
 
Don’t do this to me
Don’t keep away
Not funny
Will kill me, really
Don’t go, not like that, it’s tough
Why there is no mercy in your heart?
Who understands me but you and your heart?

Author's comments:
1- [Mount] Qaf: [original title] legendary mountain in the popular mythology of the Middle East. In Persian, "[on top of] Qaf" (Literal translation) is an idiom meaning something far, far, away. Used 'mountaintop' in the title and in the poem to be more familiar for the English-speaking reader.
