Hoy el cielo estaba carmesí Y mas seguro que nunca se Que te regalo todos los atardeceres Que en mi vida vayan a ver mis ojos

Carmesí
As the nights go by, they get harder All day long I can laugh the hardest I can enjoy the strongest I can live the fullest I am thankful the most But that doesn’t stop the nights from being dark, and dark, and dark Darker as every day goes by Darker than the one before, and for sure not darkest than the one to come And the thing is that I try my hardest to see the light And to believe that every day is brighter than the last one And that we are closer to the morning than to the twilight Because how would we keep going if we all thought we were heading into the abyss An abyss so deep and ruthless that keeps everyone away when we need each other the most An abyss where we are all together, but apart Where the beast that lurks is invisible and takes us out one by one And there is not much we can do to stop it But wait, and believe that every day is brighter than the last one.

April 19th
Cleanse the day that I was left alone from my memory Cleanse the time I discovered heartbreak from my soul Cleanse the persons that made me doubt myself from my life Cleanse the insecurities that flood life from my path Cleanse the room that almost saw the end of me Cleanse the rooftop where I immortalized a story that had ended Cleanse the insults that i've heard from my ears Cleanse the offenses that i've witnessed from my eyes Cleanse the marks that foreign hands left on my skin Cleanse, Cleanse, Cleanse Purify my soul Make me better So one day I can cleanse you to

Cleanse
I realized that I feel a high from many things I feel a high when I get home from a long day at work I feel a high when I get to sleep for an extra 30 minutes I feel a high from a warm shower to ease any stress I feel a high from the hug of a loved one I feel a high from the caress of my parents I feel a high when the chords I build up in my guitar make sense I feel a high when I hear a song I love I feel a high from the slow and gentle flow of words into a piece of paper I feel a high from looking at the stars Looking at the sea Looking at the sky I feel a high from a cup of coffee I feel a high when laughing with my friends I feel a high when I let my creativity flow I feel a high when I figure something out I feel a high from working for people in need I feel a high from giving my time for nothing in exchange I feel a high from the prayers of thankful children I feel a high from helping to make the world a better place to be I realized something else too… I don’t need the touch of your hands to feel a high.

When we have questions and we need to answer them, we look for a library Inside the library we know that we'll find books that will have the solution to our problem So, we recur to them as a source of knowledge to solve our doubt and move on But what happens when your answer is not written on any book, but instead on a person? Persons then, act as books Sometimes you know which person can answer your doubt You look for them You ask, either by talking to them or through the touch of their skin And then your question is solved And you move on Today I had a question And I found the answer in the skin of a person Now that I don’t have my doubt anymore I move on.

When a person is a book
I’m sorry darling, but it doesn’t work that way, You don’t get to say you miss me, You don’t get to remember those good times, After all, it was you who walked away. I’m sorry darling, but it doesn’t work that way, You don’t get to text me that you need me, That you love me, When you gave me your back in a moment where I needed you, When you ignored my affection, the fact that I cared for you, When you ignored the days I would carry your emotions upon my shoulder, Just to make you smile, make everything better. I’m sorry darling, but it doesn’t work that way, You don’t get to come looking for me, not today, Not the day that your bed is cold again, Not the day that other embracing arms leave, Not the night that the solitude settles in again under your sheets, Not the night that you realize how you closed your eyes to our dreams. You don’t get to miss me, Not tonight, Because, I’m sorry darling, but it doesn’t work that way.

Short Nonsense 1
April 17th In the eternal cold, dark and void, Where drifting clouds make up everything we know, Where terrible storms are givers of life, Where the strongest prevail over anything else, There is a bright star. A pulsar in the void Shining bright, untamed, wild In this chaos there is order The order of that pulsar Even though there’s hundreds of stars Only few shine as bright Not everyone can see this Some people think all stars shine equally bright Some misinterpret brightness Some don’t want to see But I do I see the pulsar Shining bright, untamed, wild And I admit I’m lucky to see the stars In the void and chaos Sometimes I believe this happens because I’m a star too I know that I can shine bright Brighter than most of the clutter out there, Or at least, I thought From the tiny corner of the void I could see I knew I was always the brightest No one could challenge me A king on a tiny hill But that changed My tiny corner of the void got a little bigger And I saw something new A pulsar in the void Shines bright, strong Few things look this bright And it terrifies me It terrifies me because now I’m but a dormant star I always knew how bright I could shine But never tried to shine that bright Today I see a pulsar in the void And realize that I’m not the brightest one anymore I need to shine brighter now But I don’t know if it’s too late I’m but a dormant star Shadow of a former glory A small brown dwarf Staring at a pulsar in the void And the idea of not being able to shine as bright Terrifies me.

A Pulsar in the Void

March 31st What have you done, Many times I have seen heartbreak, I have seen sadness, I have come face to face with the greatest darkness In my bones and in my skin I have felt what it is to lose it all But I have never seen this. This is beyond what you can imagine And there is moments, trust me, where all I want to do is storm into your room and scream from the top of my lungs, Scream to your face, Scare that hopeless romantic from within you and show you what you've done This damage might be beyond repair and that terrifies me, I can’t even go to bed anymore because I’m scared that there will be no tomorrow If something happens to her, it will be my demise And I would make sure that, Before i burn out, It’s also yours Please be strong, I don’t know what to tell you nor what to do Just, please, please, please hold on Don’t let go Embrace me with all your strengths Because I will never let you go But now I know that it might be even too late for that There is nothing I can do to help her now, I have come face to face with the greatest darkness And not even that prepared me for what I’m seeing now She is not even there anymore **** you for taking her smile away **** you for taking her sleep away **** you for taking that laugh **** you for taking those dreams **** you for taking the reasons **** you for taking that light And may god **** you if you take her Please, my girl, don’t cry I k̶n̶o̶w̶ hope t̶h̶a̶t̶ everything i̶s̶ ̶g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ will be fine, I don’t know when, or how Just, please, my girl, don’t cry

March 31st Pensé en ti por primera vez en semanas el día de hoy, No me había dado cuenta que no habías estado en mi mente, Creo que me estaba acostumbrando a tu ausencia, Pero el día de hoy pensé en ti Estaba desayunando, era una mañana mas Y me encontré mirando a alguien que llamaba mi atención entre toda la gente ahí, No era consciente del porque Pero por alguna razón te miraba Después me inundaron los recuerdos, Y supe que de todas las caras en ese lugar eras la mas familiar Por que eras tu Y en ese momento pensé en ti Y recordé lo que perdí Te extrañé en ese momento Deseé que por un instante dejáramos todo de lado Y estuvieras ahí conmigo por un minuto Lo éramos todo, no necesitábamos a nadie Por que no teníamos a nadie Éramos fuertes juntos Por que nadie mas estaba ahí para nosotros Rey y Reina, Nadie podía tomar nuestra corona Tocamos el cielo Mientras nos intentaban arrastrar al infierno Pero lo logramos Eso fue hace un año, Ahora todo ha cambiado Duele el pensar en el pasado Lo que fue Lo que fuimos Lo que importaste Lo que ahora no es Hoy, Pensé en ti por primera vez en semanas, No me había dado cuenta que no habías estado en mi mente, Y solo se una cosa, Aun dueles como desde ese primer día.
