When will you come to me? - Mirabai

When will you come to me?

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.
My heart, it seems,
Is going to break.
O my Dark One, you were with me
In all my former lives.
When will you come to me?
