Sobre palabras y rimas.
Carolina Nov 2019
Palabras sin sentido,
ven la luz del día,
aunque no tienen motivo,
nacen dormidas.
Rimas que consuelan
mi falta de control,
llenan el espacio
carente de rol.

Old wish.
Carolina May 2019
I was fantasizing
about death and life
when I came across a wish
I had left behind.
Written digitally
so the tears won't blur the ink,
I felt my mouth dry
while I chewed gum of mint.
307 · Jun 2019
Fact.
Carolina Jun 2019
Love hurts
whether it's good or bad
Love hurts
and the one bruised is the heart
303 · Apr 2020
La dicha.
Carolina Apr 2020
Una inmensidad vasta de amor
en la que te encuentras,
rodeado de vida, de ilusión.

Una persona que no escucha el clamor,
en un mundo diminuto,
robando la pasión.

¿En cuál encontrarás la dicha?

Whispers from the moon.
Carolina Sep 2018
Illuminated by the moon.
Her whispers come to me.
I show her that I listen,
I'll prove her that I see.
In a white summer dress,
barefoot by the creek,
with my loose long hair
and my soft pink cheeks.
Almost midnight time,
stones, herbs and tree barks,
kneeling on the grass,
going over ancient marks.
My silver hoops sparkle
and I begin to recite
a beesech to a force
unnoticeable to the sight.
Developed energies.
Astral effect;
my state of mind goes higher
so my wish I can project.
I feel its presence;
It thickens the air.
The wind blows stronger.
I can feel its piercing stare.
I command you my will
and I order you to bow
as I start to float inside the circle
baring my tar black soul.
The moon is still there,
up there in the dark sky.
It giggles and whispers:
*You belong to the night.
302 · Sep 2020
Eyes that speak the truth.
Carolina Sep 2020
I've seen your eyes
and I've heard your voice...
They don't say the same.
301 · Mar 2018
I have waited.
Carolina Mar 2018
I grab my phone,
no messages at all.
I look at the clock,
it works no more.
I say hello,
the replay is an echo.
I sit in silence
trying to let go.
I look down to my hand,
the bruises bleed again.

And I understand that I have waited for too long
and all I've ever known is gone.
I'm alone.
Carolina Dec 2020
Morning tediousness.
I take my sight through the room and I spot loneliness standing in the corner.
The window's opened, warm breeze coming in. The summer sun's up high.
I feel your presence, but not in a physical form.
A bird's nest inside my chest, with no pigeons just emptiness.
Both of us always staring through the distance.
Eyes always devouring,
mouth drooling.
Catching your eyes sight,
everlasting in me.
Limitless and wild
I let the silk fall down
in my mind.
I was never yours to keep,
you were never mine to stay.
Yet the energy calls us,
or perhaps it only calls me.
Nothing to demand, nothing to wish.
So keep staring in silence
with your everlasting sight in me.
295 · May 2019
Sadness.
Carolina May 2019
Lead me to the dark blue ocean.

Push me down, help me sink.

It can’t get any darker.

I am ready, drowning is my will.
I wrote this a year ago when I was headed to the bottom again. I'm glad I don't identify myself in those lines anymore, at least most of the time.
294 · May 2018
Intermitencia pasada.
Carolina May 2018
Mujercita soñadora
de labios color cereza.
Músico de bares
de labios sabor cerveza.

Él la consumió
como a los 20 cigarrillos
que fuma por día.
Jamás aclaró
que a largo plazo
no la quería.

Y cuando se fue,
lo hizo sin decir adiós.
Músico de cuarta,
el enredo lo causaste vos.
292 · Dec 2023
Christmas time.
Carolina Dec 2023
Bittersweet celebration.
Drunk and destroying decorations.
Ten minute sad song
playing on repeat,
crying all day long
dancing to the beat.
290 · May 2018
Ordinary.
Carolina May 2018
And I guess
the only special
thing you had
was the way
I had
of seeing you.
284 · Jun 2021
Retry.
Carolina Jun 2021
My eyes, wet.
My lips, dried.
The fantasies, they're all about a new sunrise.
And I wonder why
you play with my mind.
Your screams echoing at night.
And, again, I cry.
The pain is only mine.
I hate this confessional poetry style,
but it lets me fly
as I was high.
And once again I stop the time;
you're warm for me to remind.
I find the light
within my sight;
On a sunny day
I pass you by,
and I reach the sky.
Me and I,
we unify.
My only thought
I should retry.
281 · Feb 2018
Acceptance of the now.
Carolina Feb 2018
Summertime, loneliness and fear.
Oh, how I wish to have you near.
I'm voiceless calling you nonstop
and life makes me hate its plot.
See, I try my hardest to summon
a glimpse of your love to keep for me alone,
but the only thing I get from this mister
is his lustfull voice falling to a whisper.
I do not want him to be gone
but he will not stay for long
even if I put that ruby lipstick on
or when I let my silk dress slip off.
Flashing led light, cyan.
"Do not rush in" say the wise men.
But you now have that golden suntan
and I want it to happen as fast as it can.
The story is clear and I can see
this will soon only exist in me.
For I could hold your hand but not your arm
and I am sure you never meant no harm.
Distracted mind that you carry,
we could have had something legendary.
Just keep in mind when it ends and you are gone
your memory in my heart will live on.
275 · Jan 2021
I would...
Carolina Jan 2021
I would break my heart in two
to take you out of there.
I would cut my brain up
just to forget.
273 · May 2018
Wind.
Carolina May 2018
You cannot blame the wind
for the mess it has done.
It was you who left the window open.

Stone wrapped by velvet.
Carolina Jan 2018
It's Tuesday 23 of January and I'm trying to forget
the nervous wreck I've been lately. All for you; the stone wrapped by velvet.
Because you say that it's fine but I know that you lie.
You hug me some nights but never too tight.
The man who's a stone is so cold it burns,
and he makes me beg but he's already gone.
The bluish grey smoke hits my face. Is it allowed to smoke inside the bar?
As the place fills with... let's say haze, I admit cigarettes are better for me than you are.
It's a tug of war game and I want to yell ''Hey!
It's not fun, please stop, I can't breathe from all the mud."
It's been a week and a half since I saw you
and it makes me depressed because my mind's all about you.
You promise this will change
as you turn off your phone to travel with your friends.
It's 12:45 am and I'm waiting, you said we'd meet. Once again you were lying and... here comes the anxiety.
But then you answer almost at 2 am, getting in bed to sleep, there's no time for me, said your were with the team... is that were you've really been?
My friend Ro is so in love she cannot go and see me.
My mom just yells, she's not stable. Another night with no dinner on the table.
My dad's at work and when he's home it's just his ghost, I'm alone.
And when you're here, just once a week, you seem happy but then you leave and I'm filled with unease.
My heart slowly beats as I beg you please
but you ignore and you don't call, you meet them all
but not me.
So I lose control but I stay at home and to you I reproach but all your words mean nothing if you never show.
Please don't go, please don't go.
268 · Dec 2019
Sides.
Carolina Dec 2019
I saw the plane,
I stared at the white mark,
it cut through the sky
dividing the world.
Which side am I on?
Thoughts life decisions doubt

Silly town girl.
Carolina Apr 2018
The road is too lonely
for this silly town girl.
The road is too dangerous
for this hidden fine pearl.
She has boiling blood
and some vivid dreams
but she has no one,
from most eyes she's unseen.
For the past few years
she wakes up to survive
all by her own
surrounded by lies.
But she breathes and takes courage
to embrace each new day
and in a trance she keeps walking
to the rhythm of lay lady lay.
Nomadic crature,
no home, no men.
Wanderer enchanter,
for how long this life will she stand?
Deep down her core
she wishes to have
a stable surrounding
that more than a heartbeat could last.
So tonight as she risks her light
walking through the road
she repeats to the stars her desire,
not to be forever so alone.
263 · Sep 2018
Reality's decay.
Carolina Sep 2018
Will it become a part of me?
Can it renew my energy?
I'm afraid love's not here.
That fragile state is where we live.

Crossroads that lead to the same place
and it's somewhere far from grace.
But he finds peace in that purple haze
that takes his head up there in space.

I daydream about a joyful ride,
among friends, music and wine,
not worrying about the passing time,
sitting with my back against the pine.

But I open my eyes and it's all gone,
there's not a place to call home.
The aching inside burns up a hole,
filling it up has kind of become my role.

So, I disconnect to pass the days
but I still have those phantom pains.
Staying inside dreaming away
the blurry reality that's in decay.
257 · May 2019
Días.
Carolina May 2019
Los pensamientos recurrentes,
la desazón insistente,
la llovizna eterna,
la oscuridad interna,
el sol eclipsado,
el desierto inundado,
el triste olvido,
el mortal hastío,
el café frío,
los bolsillos vacíos,
la mirada perdida,
el paso de la vida.
256 · Nov 2019
Is this life?
Carolina Nov 2019
The absence of will
What it takes to feel the thrill?
Bury yourself in bed
Waiting for life to reach its end
Goodbye
Don't cry
255 · Mar 2023
Still alive
Carolina Mar 2023
I no longer
try to avoid the arrows
that are thrown at me.
I let them sink deep into my skin.
I no longer care
to stop the bleeding.
How am I still alive?
253 · Apr 2020
Corazón.
Carolina Apr 2020
Corazón frío,
corazón de hielo.
Saberlo todo,
no trae consuelo.

La ignorancia es una dicha.
Afirmo la frase.
¿Qué más da si no lo encuentro?
No hay planes en los que no fracase.

Corazón frío,
corazón de hielo.
Buscaba el cielo
y me estrellé contra en suelo.
247 · Jan 2018
Baby blue tears.
Carolina Jan 2018
You try to stay calm,
you try to compose.
Baby blue tears down your cheeks.
Your mistake was to get close.
246 · Dec 2019
About lovers.
Carolina Dec 2019
Baby blue, stay between the lines.
Honey dew, smoke it up at night.
Cheering them up, the arrogant boy.
Jazz's getting lost in that hazy joy.
You give them what they want
and they give you what you need.
It's not about the cash,
but about notoriety.
Still thinking of you,
from time to time;
your violent sight,
your Dadá wine.
244 · Jan 2019
Uncertain way.
Carolina Jan 2019
What a combination,
summer and wine.
You chase that purple dream.
Won't you hold me tight?
Keeping it cold,
meet me after midnight.
You showed and told me so,
how to stay more distant.
All the attention
is in rock and roll,
interrupting the kiss
just to sing along.
Oh, rosy quartz
clean this uncertain way.
Oh, moon and sun
bond us right away.
239 · Feb 2018
Shall I bite my tongue.
Carolina Feb 2018
Shall I bite my tongue not to hurt anymore
or in the coldest loneliness I will persist
and my aching soul the void will devour
and I'll be forgotten until I no longer exist.
237 · Apr 2018
The bad side.
Carolina Apr 2018
The innocent girl
is searching for a man
in all the wrong places.

Wants to grow up fast
and prove a point,
and find where grace is.

Wants to form a gang,
wants to run the world,
wants to become a woman.

Laying in bed,
picturing herself
being the cruel one.

Surrounded by guns and bad men.
The baddest *****,
the one not to trust.

You want to know
what she's made of,
careful not to mess up.

Because she's dysfunctional
and dangerous.
She's willing to do all the don'ts.

She will keep on dreaming
and searching everywhere
until she gets what she wants.
237 · Nov 2021
Steps.
Carolina Nov 2021
Land of no one,
devastation at sight.
This body of mine
seems to have no pulse,
the feet keep it moving
but in slow motion.
There's a war approaching
and nobody to fight.
This piece of land
has stayed behind.
The steps of my feet
are not enough
to get out.
235 · Aug 2019
Your arms
Carolina Aug 2019
Today
more than ever
I long to be in your arms
to make it all feel better
to fade away these scars
235 · May 2019
Tonto amor.
Carolina May 2019
No sé si soy tonta
o me hago,
tal vez es esto de estar enamorados,
pero tengo un poema de amor guardado
por cada día que paso con vos.
Carolina Apr 2018
He said he loved me
but he never showed it.
He said he missed me
but I hardly ever saw him.
He said he said he said,
too many words.
I lost all my bets.
Was it all just lies?
I guess I'm not the type that you like;
I'm too silly,
too innocent,
too much of a dreamer.
You like your women
filthy,
experienced,
disposable *** dealers.
He has a machine heart I couldn't cut through.
Day through day, sad and lost, I made myself believe I could be his muse.
I like the idea that he had good intentions,
he just couldn't take responsibilities, too much tension.
And I wonder
if there was truly any feeling there.
And I wonder
how could someone change
the way they always were.
229 · Mar 2018
Blind, deaf and stupid.
Carolina Mar 2018
The blowing wind caresses my hair.
Its touch is like yours; almost as it wasn't there.
One thing I said I'd never do,
but here I am, since months crawling to you.
I play the pawn under a disguise with no gleam,
forgetting to love myself, forgetting I am the queen.
Love makes you blind, deaf and stupid.
And for this one I cannot blame cupid.
It's now my own choice to cry on the floor,
knowing I could be strong and just ignore.
But I wipe my tears away and decide to try once again,
aware that it'll break my heart but I don't want this to end.
222 · Jan 2019
Neighborhood baby.
Carolina Jan 2019
Neighborhood baby
selling her lie
of being bold and happy
most of the time.
Fed up of daydreaming
about a better life.
Pleasing everyone else
is the sickness of pride.
***** princess, lazy lover
who's deepest side
is a madness of beauty
that'll get you flying up high.
But careful who you're talking to
when she's mad, heart dried,
cause she's soft as a petal
and sharp, thorn alike.
219 · Nov 2019
Lost
Carolina Nov 2019
No hunger, no stains,
just numbness and decay.
A phantom, an old pain,
still consumig from the veins.
Getting through each day
with empty masquerades.
The staring role has lost its part
and now just wanders round the park,
sitting on benches under the dark,
pretending to be one of those who leave a mark.
218 · Apr 2018
I fell for a loser.
Carolina Apr 2018
I idealized you
and the possibility of us.
I clung to the idea
that you were the love of my life.
I gave you my heart,
my mind
and my body.
I saw colors in the blackest sky,
and every time you rejected me
I never asked why.
It seemed you didn't care whether you kissed me or not.
I had so little from you but even that got me caught.
The insecurities exploted inside,
so many fears burnt my mind.
Please love me,
please need me.
Don't go,
stay with me.
I gave you all my fire
and yet you were freezing cold.
Not feeling your presence hurts,
but being with you hurts me more.
I thought I could be happy with you,
I thought you were sincere
but after all this time
the aching is still here.
Not resentment, not blaming fate.
I was blind, it's me who I hate.
There was so many red flags,
I was so stupid to ignore.
And I'm so sorry
for wanting something more.
Your actions didn't show you could change;
for the rest of your life you'll be a cruiser.
Oh, poor little fool that I am;
how could I fell for such a loser.
Carolina Mar 2018
Now I accept you don't belong with me.
And I may spend too many days in grief
but at least I could taste your lips.
I can't be sure if you were the one
but I can say you were my happiest time.
But as happy as I was you also made me blue;
you ripped my heart apart and, sadly, I let you.
216 · Jul 2018
Love and heroin.
Carolina Jul 2018
You may be what I need,
what will wake me from sleep.
An holographic dream,
a mix of love and ******.

El cuento.
Carolina Aug 2020
Si algún día me escapo
espero perderme en el viento.
Y con el pasar de años macabros
convertirme en un cuento;
secreto para los infantes,
de terror para adultos.
De esos que todos saben, de murmullo en murmullo.
Y si algún día aparezco
en la puerta de tu casa,
espero te quedes blanco
inmovilizado de miedo.
Porque traigo conmigo la ira,
a través de ojos ya muertos,
emanando un poder desconocido
que te quita el aliento,
porque vas a ser consciente
de que el cuento era cierto.
215 · Apr 2018
Let go.
Carolina Apr 2018
The leaves have started falling
and the cold is coming fast.
It's hard to be okay
when you can't bury the past.
What I called "us" fell to the ground,
among the leaves it disappeared.
The heat between us is now winter
and it turned out really weird.
You didn't say goodbye,
you just hid away.
Not a solid ending,
drove me utterly insane.
I hope the winter frezzes my heart
and cools down my mind,
I hope when the spring arrives
I can finally feel divine.
Carolina Dec 2017
You didn't ask me if I was okay.
You gave no goodbye, just turned away.

The saddest part is that I'd run into your arms,
no thinking needed, I'd instantly buy the scam.

Because your heavy metal tones wander through my core,
because for only one bitter kiss I would implore.

You could send for me, I would come alive.
You could give me up once again, I promise not to cry.

I will not send you mean texts, I will not call you non-stop.
I will not act like a lovesick, as long as this repeats a billion times more.

Call me back, please, call for me.
I can do what you want, just say I'm your baby.

This suffocating feeling I cannot let go,
love? whim? whatever it is, it makes me feel whole.

Paths
Carolina Jun 2019
How is it that time
pushes me back and forth
How it is that life
makes me want to grow
The spirit grows old
My mind lost control
Survivals of war
The world won't reach its dawn
204 · May 2018
Someday, somehow.
Carolina May 2018
I promised myself
I wouldn't write about you.
Not a sinlge line.
But you know,
I still keep that picture
in the second drawer
of my night table.
I stil try to find
what is not there.
desperatly
I still hold my pillow at night
pretending it's you.
I allow myself to sin
(way too much)
but maybe in that way
it will all get out my mind
someday,
somehow.

Do not sneak a peak.
Carolina Apr 2018

What do you seek?
Nothing is as cute as you think.
So do not sneak a peak.

Angry eyes.
Carolina Jul 2020
I know you hurt,
I know you try.
We get so tired
we want to die.

your tender voice,
always asking why,
but I don't rejoice.

The last time we met.
Carolina Jun 2021
Saw you today
and I didn't even say hi,
but you did, right after I turned.
Everytime I see you I get kind of shy,
but I responded.
Wished I had kissed you longer
the last time we met.
187 · Feb 2018
Stars and birthday candles.

I still wish upon falling stars
and birthday candles
because life cannot get better

Search and wait.
Carolina Apr 2018
If I search for you,
               I never find you.
If I wait for you,
               you never come.

So what do you do
when the thing you want the most
hides away from you?

So untouchable,
                 unreachable,
                           so distant up high.

Do you keep on searching and waiting?
Or do you let it pass?
