Hello and a big welcome to Neopoet for you.
You need to know that although we do our best here to accomodate the international community, Neopoet was born in the USA (New York) and therefore English is Neopoet's official language. Please make any further postings in the English language as best you can.
I could only translate the beginning of your poem and it is sad and you shold know that the web is full of broken heart poetry but we all need to express our feelings and it is a good write, so do translate it to English and re-post it as a new post if you will.
Thank you,
Mark (Administratve council Chair) https://www.neopoet.com/mark
