Hey mom Thanks for showing me what love looks like and not fucking me up Thanks for teaching me what home means and that I shouldn't settle for any less. Thanks for showering me with love for making me feel blessed. Thanks for letting me grow up without needing to worry because you knew I'd have plenty of time for that once I was older. Hey mom I need you right now can you come pick me up? I can't find home. Hey mom, please take me away, I'm so alone. Mom, I made a mistake I thought I could take it, I'm so afraid.
Infinite universes
There's a version of our universe in which not only we haven't met but also we'll never meet. Can you imagine a variant of you that hasn't memorized the shape of my lips?
Desperate
This will not make a good poem It's a short story that I tell myself when I need to be convinced that I don't really need you. The words I need to scream to stop scrolling through your photos to stop playing that sad song to stop reading through your poems. This is my desperate cry to be healthy and finally let go of your memories instead of grasping at them as if they could save me in any way.
Inertia
I dreamt you were gone Then searched blindly for your warmth. The bed was empty.
Sunday
I want to wake up with sex Then eggs Then back to sleep and white sheets And let the sun wake us up Writhe in pleasure as we decide What to do with the day ahead Because we'd both rather stay in bed And spend all our time together Letting our bodies be tethered The only music your sighs and gasps As I find the best ways to make you laugh But there's so much to do You know it too There's so little time So we go outside We walk And talk Travel to unknown locations Experience new sensations For we want to grow and learn As we let this fire burn And get all of our task lists done Because we never found someone With this eagerness to live With so much love to give Never wanting the day to end Never needing to pretend Never wanting to leave your side. Never having to say goodbye.
crying
Tears fall accidentally I'm so sorry. You weren't supposed to see that. I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable with my pain. Please forgive me. I know my crying is not an appropriate reaction to this conversation. Let's reschedule this for some other time when I've learned to keep my feelings under control. Let me shamefully walk away as I fail to understand why did I apologise for bothering you if I was the one in pain?
E1 – 2
Me coges del brazo cuando paso por tu lado, mirándote de reojo. Me aguantas la mirada unos segundos.
– Estás preciosa con este vestido
– Lo sé – Respondo, segura de mi misma y con mi sonrisa burlona. Salgo de la habitación, sabiendo que te he dejado pasmado. Soy consciente de cada onda que hace mi vestido al andar, de como se mueve mi pelo, y como sigues mi cuerpo con la mirada al alejarme. Me siento bien, fuerte y libre, como hacía tiempo que no me sentía. Siento que lo tengo todo bajo control. Sé lo que siento y no lo escondo. Me gusta como me miras, y muero de ganas de conocerte, de saber que escondes.
The crash
I could see the crash before I had the keys in the ignition. The road ahead was wondrous, but we were destined for oblivion. Maybe this is what we needed a sudden ending, a shakespearian finale a poetic finish. An epic collapse to shatter the world we built, leaving footprints in the mud and verses in the wind.
unconventional
I do not want a wedding day or to feel that life slips away. We do not need to write our vows or make a knot to tie our lives. I do not want to fulfill prophecies and make all these empty promises. I do not want the house, the kids, the dog or to browse the ikea catalogue, I want to surround myself with friends, stories that start but don't end, people who let me be free and who bring out the best in me. Remove the need to plan ahead and focus on me, and you, in bed. Fighting what was imposed, opening all the doors that were closed. I wouldn't want you to regret not saying what you wish you'd said, and keep wishing that I'd change hoping for the end of this phase, trying to hold on a bit longer, hoping that love will make us stronger. I just want you to be free and that you choose to stay next to me.
shiny
When you woke up this morning and sleepily picked out your clothes, did you chose to wear that red sweater so that I would notice you more? I guess you can't see that your eyes would stand out even if you wore the dullest grey hiding amongst the largest crowd?
