You Shot and I Didnt Die

In your absence, what fires I burnt with your yearning, though I couldn’t burn you, as you burnt me Like water in desert, days in prison, bread in fasting, I waited for you But you only put fears between us You put bans Don’t ever ask me where I am now... You called me and didn’t I come? Don’t used to offend to springs with no flowers, while you were here To the rainy skies...these melancholic evenings While you were here Don’t used to look and sigh to train stations To bus stops… While you were here I don’t used to cry to ones get seperated Don’t used to get down after finished loves Don’t used to offend to the going ones Don’t used to feel pitty for the staying ones Don’t used to feel cold like that and shiver, while you were here Was innocent, like children Don’t used to get mad like that - dont used to swear At last I dont used to think of dying Now I am asking you If it is hell the name of this love You burnt me and didn’t I burn? You know To all your pains, I turned on 'green light', we couldn’t make it For all your fears, I was 'back', we couldn’t make it To the mountains, I put stairs, we couldn’t make it I was a snow in June, snowed in your palms, we couldn’t make it I loved, we couldn’t - I burnt, we couldn’t - I adored, we couldn’t Well then, I give up Cut the ticket of this love however you want Somehow you are going I know, go... Though after you A couple of crying eyes A heard ripped to shreds A ruined mountain, if you don’t want to see Hold your weapon - push to my back I am a coward if I shiver... You shot me and I didn’t die?
