It was not only once, it will go this way,
In our fight, which is deaf and destroying:
As it happened before, you rebuffed me today –
To return, like a slave, by the morning.
Therefore, don’t be stressed, my inimical friend,
My friend – enemy, caught by black laces,
If the moans of love will be moans of pain
And the kisses will leave bloody traces.
(Nikolai Stepanovich Gumilev)
