Krishna, when will you come to me? – Mira Bai

I send him letters,
But my dear Krishna
Sends no response to me.
He keeps his silence purposefully.
I sweep the path,
I keep it ready
For him to come to me.
I wait and gaze
Till my eyes turn blood-shot,
But he does not come to me.
Every passing day and night,
I’m now getting restless,
I feel my heart is going to break.
O my Dark One, you were with me
In all my former lives.
When will you come to me?
