The Crushed Leaf Underneath Your Boot

My empty dream in vibrant spring
To make true with your loving grace;
I awaited an era till you bring
Those cheerful memories of solace.

Hand-in-hand to walk life together;
To withstand miseries what may come;
Not to turn one's back in bad weather;
Have you kept those promises you've done.

Silent years passed day by day;
Silver shone in your eyes and heart;
Promises sailed off at a far away bay;
Your wandered life was a game of dart.

Nectar from heaven filled tinkly glasses;
Silver rolled on spinning Roulette wheels;
passion flirted with angelic embraces;
I was a null coin among your deals.

I am waiting till you're back home;
To replenish your hope along anew route;
My heart will welcome you are as same;
Please,pick the leaf underneath your boot.
