Vain Wait

I wait for you,

wait in vain
You don't come
and I'm still here
with this vague hope.

The heat surrounding me
is still unbearable
because I am in the middle of a fire.
But I am still here,
waiting for you,
waiting in vain.

I am waiting for you
to rescue me from the hell I am in,
and I can't scream for help somewhere else.
And I wonder
Yes, I wonder
what is the sin I have to pay in this damn hell.

I have to be ecstatic in this hell
I cannot move somewhere else,
because I am enslaved by this vague hope
that makes me wait for you,

wait in vain.
