You could have at least cast a hopeless glance at me, but instead, you walked away even hiding your face from me.

In this tenderly painful couplet, the poet grieves the sting of complete indifference. The lover isn't even asking for affection anymore; he would have settled for a hopeless, pitying glance just to feel acknowledged. Instead, the beloved hides their face entirely, denying him even the bittersweet comfort of being seen in his sorrow.
