Like deaf who has loaned words
I've spilled myself today, I was talking to your absence
Like a captive, like ruin, like myself
I went out of myself yesterday, I was talking to my inner self
Like a child who saw his face for the first time
I saw myself
The mirror shattered
Into smithereens, whatever there is, my woman
In your absence, how many tears your name causes
What way, come, come
Without you, I'm an enemy to Istanbul
From the hopes I cut I made sails, but
In your absence I wasn't able neither to go nor to stay
Were they real, my attempts to hold on
My break-ups, disguised as presents
