Lips

Gabriela Cardoso Mar 2014

Lips

Hands clasped, glued bodies, eyes glazed.
Your hands loose mine, the void possesses me.
You reach my hair, my face, my lips.
Your touch, so sweet, calm me
Sweet lips, lips soft, kissable lips.
Playful look, impeccable sense of mood.
Yours eyes wander around the room,
my body envy others.
Why did you stop looking at me?
Pain. Loss. Why?
Without yours, my lips have nothing to do,
except to await
until others appear to replace you.

Kiss goodnight

Gabriela Cardoso Dec 2013

Kiss goodnight

I've told you that I love when you pass your hand in my hair and going down my back until it stops at my waist? It chills me all. Or when you surprise me biting my cheek? I pretend to be angry because you know I hate it, but deep down, I like. Even when you close my jacket because my neckline is very bold, even if I am with a turtleneck. And when you go to the bathroom and makes sure to kiss me and warn me that you will soon come back to me. It makes me so safe. When you need to leave, you wish me goodnight and when going away, take my heart along, only to return it when I see you again.

what?

Gabriela Cardoso Mar 2014

what?

love you
hate you
want you
wish you

your Voice
your hair
your taste
your scent

dear, helpfull
thick, disgusting
Funny, depressive
**** in the *** and ******

even so dont understand
what I see in you
I don't know if it's a thing of friend
or whether it is a love unresolved

I could, but...

Gabriela Cardoso Dec 2013

I could, but...

I could smile
but you were the only reason I would
and you are not here anymore

I could sing
but you were my only inspiration
and you are not here anymore

I could dream
but you were the star of all my dreams
and you are not here anymore

I could dance
but you were my partner on track
and you are not here anymore

I could run behind you
but you know the pride? it doesnt let
and you are no longer here to control me
and say "hey baby, let it go"

I could love
but you took my heart when you left
and now, I have left is to live

I could live
but without you, it seems to make no sense
and you are not here anymore.

Lack of discussion

Gabriela Cardoso Dec 2013

Lack of discussion

you're there, I'm here
we don't talk, don't touch, don't understand us
you're on your own, I'm on my
and, like this, things always remain the same.

I opened the cage

Gabriela Cardoso Feb 2014

I opened the cage

Silly smiles, loose laughter, it's been time since I felt this way: doing well in life. And it feels so good, I want to keep feeling this way forever. The joy of seeing a person, that person, and feel butterflies in your stomach, is priceless. Kindness, affection, was not right, but it was so good it made it look right, and wanted to stop was nonexistent. Life together, it sounds so good! But, what is happening? I will now, after all, became what it always abhorred? Yes, I opened the cage.

— The End —
