Translation of one of my poems

By A.L.C · Romanian and Engllish

I posted 1 poem in 2 languages. The poem is an acrostic that was originally wrote in Romanian, by me for someone and then I tried to translate it in English but with the preservation of the acrostic. What do you think? This one is the original in Romanian: Recviem Rămân închis într-un abis, Așteptând un înger să nu plângă. Mă uit în oglindă, dar e doar un vis, O speranță gata să se frângă. N-aș vrea să mai stau — așa a fost scris. Acum lacrimile încep să se strângă… Tăcerea se așterne ca o umbră lungă peste soare. E un sfârșit de drum ce mult prea clar a fost prezis. Orb rămân rătăcind în timp ce speranța încet moare. This one is my translation in English to preserve the acrostic: Requiem Remaining locked within this dark abyss, Awaiting for an angel not to weep. My mirror shows a dream of fleeting bliss, Only a hope too fragile now to keep. Never would I stay — yet fate wrote this, And now the gathering tears run deep… The silence falls, a long shade across the sun, End of a road too clearly foretold. Onward I wander blind, as hope comes undone.
