I'm not a poet. I'm barely a human being.
I was talking to my friends these days And they were worried about what gifts they should buy their dads And it hit me that I never worried about this, Dad, I never had the chance to think about buying you a gift and I tried to imagine what would I buy for you this Christmas but thing is I never go to know you, Dad, I never got to know what you liked, what you wanted in this life I never got to know you outside the demons that you were carrying around I never knew as a child how bad it was for you to survive and I loved you and I could not see you, Dad and I never had the chance to think about what gift would bring some joy in you heart and now I'm furios, Dad, I'm furious because now I am old enough and if I had a chance, I could see you, I could hear you And I'm furious because I am old enough and I don't have to worry about buying you a gift I'm furious because I am old enough And I still don't know what you want for Christmas.

Christmas letter to Dad.
I have never thought about getting here 27 years old and 10 pounds lighter than 8 weeks ago It's all in numbers, you see Like How many cigarettes I have smoked today How many drinks I've had How many times I've lost you It's all in numbers And as I count the eyelashes shadowing my eyes I still remember That It's been 1000 years Since my heart has been Broken down. The way it has been In these 24 hours Since you decided to say goodbye For the last time. H

It's all in numbers
It's been some time now And I still haven't figured out how to walk past you Without feeling that every muscle in my body is dying Including the one beating in my chest So fast That my skin starts hurting. And I'm sitting here now Trying to cover my eyes with the smoke of the millionth cigarette I've smoked Since I last saw your eyes. And my skin still hurts. And somehow The calm rain washing the ground where I've spilled my drunken soul Still sounds like your voice. Like music does. And my soul smells like you. And my skin still hurts. Like your absence does. It's been some time now And I still haven't figured out How to close my eyes Without seeing you in my dreams. And my skin still hurts. Like your smile does.

My skin still hurts
Unable to sleep Though my eyes are so tired From having to see all the pain I pour in the mirror Day by day. (They've never felt better than the last time when your face was reflected in their blue shade). I switch from side to side In this bed where your absence Makes me feel like I am in the middle of a snowstorm While I'm trying to run from all those monsters I once told you about. The ones your voice would chase away at night Just by calling and saying that everything is all right. And I miss the way your arms around me made me feel warm On that Friday night When the worst monster was the train taking me away from your side. And I miss you. But that's something I am not suppose to say. Not now. Not now that the Universe has decided To place our hearts at a safe distance one from the other. And under these layers of skin and flesh I can feel my soul turning into a pile of dust wearing the scent of your embrace. After all, I guess, No distance is long enough For a heart filled with longing. and pain.

No distance is enough
I need to fill up my eyes with your smile I need to take this cold skin I am wearing and turn it into something you would wanna touch one day. I'm holding to your memory Like an old lady holding to a bag where she keeps the scraps of a lonesome life— A photograph, a book and some keys not opening any door. Not anymore. I remember the talks we used to have late at night When you were asking me Who or what I am And I've never been able to give you an answear you'd like. Never found it. And now you don't ask me anymore And it's late for anything I say and the spring is showing her beauty in the air while I am sitting here with my heart sinking in solitude. And the wind is blowing, is bringing sadness in these  eyes of mine while the blossoms are flying up to the sky. And for the first time in my life I have an answer: I am the girl with blossoms in her hair and winter in the eyes who loves you.

The girl with blossoms in her hair and winter in the eyes
There's a storm inside me it starts every time I hear your laughter in the night, when I think about the way we changed from human beings to some people who can only share some words written on a cold page; it's hard to explain how is it that I miss you when I've never really had you in the first place and you wouldn't understand you see your heart has long forgotten about feelings like these. still I hear your voice calling my name I see you before my eyes even in my dreams I write you in bleeding lines and in my waking hours your smile brings raindrops in my coffee and tears on the shirt I wear because once you said that you liked it; spring brings tulips at my doorstep but it's hard to feel their perfume to let their scent in my broken lungs; people tell me that all I have to do is breathe but it's hard to breathe without crying.

rain in my coffee and tears on my shirt
Trapped in a time loop where all that happens is you coming to me, kissing my feelings with your smile, then crashing me and leaving me there with my naked hopes hiding in the deepest grounds of my heart again and again. I am the prisoner of my own deathly wishes, of the same repeating illusions, and your voice in my head is singing the same song on repeat like a broken cassette stuck in this old, rusty radio that is my mind. I am trapped in a time loop and all I do is getting lost somewhere on the paths of your soul where my dreams get born just so they can go to die.

Time loops
I know. I know how our souls react I am here and you are there and like magnets we sometimes attract each other and sometimes repel it's just about the way we sit, you see, when we close our eyes it's easier to feel. And my heart is stained and my hands are tattooed with sins and I know, there's too much blue in my eyes and too much white in my soul, too much winter too much snow for the fire that you are. I know and you know too there is a ground we'll both step on, Together, when there won't be so much snow when you will have forgiven my hands and the blue in my eyes will seem warm enough for your heart.

I know you know
Maybe it's not about this Maybe it's not about the way you say my name Or about the paper planes you wrote our dreams on And then tried to fly them from your room To my hands. Maybe it's not about the songs you played to me On your old guitar Neither about the way your laugh would come killing Every sad minute in my life. Maybe its not about the way you'd show me the snow and the sun The rain And the autumn in your eyes. Maybe it's not about the way you've taught me how to fight loneliness Or how to smile and chase away the demons in my head. Maybe it's not about any of these. Or maybe it's about everything. Maybe it's about the fact that I love you And You've never taught me How to stop this. All I know is Paper planes don't always fly Only my dreams do All the time. Away from me Away from you Away from us.

Maybe
I love the way the Earth sings your name It's like the skies are slowly falling On piano tiles That even the deaf can hear. So pure, so slowly killing and reviving souls At the same time. I love the way you play with the wind Like a child who learns how to play guitar Sometimes foolishly breaking the strings Sometimes creating music That cuts deeply into my soul. I love the way snow settles on your eyelashes And how your eyes turn into a Wonderland Where I don't shrink nor I grow I just turn into someone Who perfectly fits In your world.
