why do i always have to fall in love with the people who will never love me

No soy cuerpo, soy pregunta,
una grieta en el silencio del universo,
una chispa que duda de su fuego,
una sombra que se niega a morir quieta.

¿Qué es el tiempo, sino memoria andando?
¿Qué es el alma, sino el grito de lo eterno
encerrado en carne que olvida
que fue estrella antes de ser lágrima?

Me miro en los ojos del mundo
y no sé si soy su reflejo o su rebelión,
si vine a entender el caos
o a incendiarlo con ideas.

Porque pensar es sangrar sin herida,
es romper cadenas invisibles
que la costumbre llama “verdades”
y que el sabio llama “prisiones”.

No busco respuestas, busco coraje:
el valor de caminar sin mapa,
de amar sin garantía,
de caer sabiendo que la caída también enseña.

Y si he de morir un día,
que no sea como piedra que se disuelve en polvo,
sino como trueno que muere haciendo temblar el cielo.

They stop me in funerals, in reunions and
say to me, “You did it. You broke the cycle”
My fingers twitch, a deep pit in my belly
A knife twists, the memory of her last words
With fentanyl-stained lips twisted into a smile
she kisses me one last time, a sharing of poison
As her breath leaves, a body with no brain
And I say, “But did she have to die?”

Oh little man,
You land where you fall,
You really have no plan at all,
No sense of loss,
No fear of dying,
How brave you are,
So good at lying,
You felt that loss,
Like a severed leg,
You fear the unknown,
And the voice in you head,
And now…you are lame,
You limp,
Sometimes crawl,
You bleed everywhere,
You land where you fall

"Sorry",
What is that for ME?
Your confession or apology?
It’s what YOU are,
Your finally exposed,
Your stated regret,
And what you owe,
thanks

God said to me
wake up and see,
and I replied oh Lord why?
as I sighed.

God already knew
that I was armed
with all my whys and sighs.

In spite of me
and what I was
with doubts and fears
tales and tears
left to question all that's me,
so I will try
amid my why and my sigh
to wake up and see
as God has said to me.
