I go to bed to dream, not sleep,
And awake to live, not exist.
I befriend to care, not enjoy,
And fight to free, not conquer.
I run to catch, not flee,
And listen to empathise, not advise.
Yet of all things in my future,
And of everything I will ever do,
You I shall love to cherish,
And not for my soul to lavish.
Do you remember me?
I am fed up, strung on night
And closed in by time.
When I dine with dearest
Friends there is always a place
Set for you, there is always
A story, untold to them,
But not for strangers
Who know even without saying
What you never said to me.
My eyes are cracked dams
Above the flood plains,
My heart is dented brass,
Bent, out of gear and turns,
Mournful, dried, pocked
As rust, tarnished red,
Petrified.
If I look at the diamond moon
I am hooked.
When the flower brushes my calves
The lifting scent caresses, teases,
Rising with my memory of fire and stone.
If I travel to the balm Paris
Of the southern hemisphere
La Belle Époque is wearing your
Dress, the pampas fires and undulates
Like your hair, the Polaris star
Points at me, dreaming
Of you, dreaming,
My jewel, my,
Little moon.
to be with her when she is rude
telling me what to do
treating me like a child
is it right to worship her
and kiss the ground at her feet
when our lips never meet
when we do not hug face to face
but at an awkward side


is it right
to look at other couples and see
a spark in their eyes
like there ought to be
is it right to look
at another girl
and feel
like your heart and hers are
connected
though both of you taken
by another person


is itright
to torture myself
by clinging to some one else
when my thoughts are filled
with another girl
is it right
to not tell her
just how i feel
to look in her eyes
and express my self
is it right
to love
some one else
call me
what you like
i really do not care
*****,****,****
i dont care
because i am a young lady
beautful in every way
and you're just a
bully with
the words
that come out of
your horrible mouth
you try to put me down
well it doesnt work, i have
friends  who
can help me
through all
the things
you may
say to
me.
