Heavy hearts

When I miss you

My body gains a thousand pounds

Gravity multiplies by ten

And I couldn't move a limb if my life depended on it

Everything slows down

My chest feels heavy

My sight goes to the ground

And my heart stops beating steady

I could be with you every second

Of every minute

Of every hour

Of every day, and never get tired.

How could I?

With that smile that outshines the sun

And a voice that soothes lost souls

I found myself in you

You stitched me back together

Piece by piece

Little by little

Word by word

And even when I miss you

And my body feels like a thousand pounds

I can still listen to the sounds of your voice

Soothing me once again

Staircase

I can't wait for our lips

To meet like they just did

With explosiveness and desire

And I can't wait for my hands

To meet your body like they just did

Counting every pore

Mountain

Valley

Cave.

I can't wait for you to do the same

Touch me, and squeeze me

And grab me, and...

Just wait for me in the staircase,

I'm on my way.

Tinta china

Te doy mi corazón

Así, envuelto en papel de regalo

Todo tuyo

Sin preocupaciones.

Es tuyo para que lo cuides

O lo destruyas,

De igual manera te quiero

De igual manera te querré.

Te lo doy sin inhibición

Sin tapujos ni secretos

A ciegas...

Pero siempre te miro

Y siempre te escucho

Y te siento

Te sueño

Y me entrego

En cuerpo y alma

En acciones y en palabras

Me entrego y derramo el amor

Como tinta en papel. 

Pillow case

I fall asleep

Hugging the pillows

That smell of you

After you were here

I hope your scent

Never leaves

Like I hope

You won't either.

You took them

You took my thoughts

And made them your home

Made them yours

Like birds their nests

You took them hostage

Made them witness your crime

Made them a part of it

History.

You took them

And you own them

Like a shepherd 

Owns his sheep

And you took them

And you tamed them

Like a circus performer

Does to the lion.

You took them

And you revolted them

A coup-d'état

A civil war

And you make them scream

And whisper

And love

And whimper

But most importantly

You took them.

Not anyone...

You.

Sleeping pills

I sleep better

When your heartbeat is

The soft, gentle lullaby

That makes me dream

When there's none

Cold sweats and night terrors

Waking up every hour on the hour

To your

           

      A b  s   e    n     c      e

Let me in.

I miss you

Like the devil would miss

The warm embrace 

Of hell's fires

Don't close yourself

Let me reach inside you 

And teach your heart

The things I'd do for you

If I had to go sleepless

Restless, helpless

For a year just to show you

How much I care, I would

If you're closing yourself up

In an oyster, let me be the pearl

Let me be the hope

That one day it'll open again

Us, we're just passengers of life

We just tell the driver where to take us

Let's make the most of our love

And let it lead the way

The devil will envy our fire

The heavens, our souls

For it will burn hotter

Than hell's own
