CRUEL SENHORA Poem by Luís de Camões

Cruel Senhora, I've always been wary. I knew
I needed to watch you closely in case
your doubts would surge to disaffection and erase
our love. Then I'd be ruined, since I love only you.
And now, everything I'd hope to have is lost:
you're pursuing another lover. So I detach
myself, believing your retribution will match
the sacrificial depths my love has cost:
I've given my soul, my senses, and my life to you;
I've given you everything I have within me,
and you promised love, but now, there's only disdain.
Lost and hopeless, I don't know what to do,
yet I know the day will come when this memory
will crush you down with terrifying pain.
