I've been addressed by different names

but "mine" is the best I ever heard.

They hid their ugliness beneath all the makeup
and she hid her beauty under the masks of her words.

***** this
and ***** that.
I am tired
of everything I ever had
been or tried to be.

I need to live
carefree.

Funny how I once thought I'd remember that date forever

and years after, it passed without your name even crossing my mind.

she wanted to discover all the abandoned places
with ghosts still lingering on the balconies
waiting for their lost lovers of youth.

she wanted to feel the thrill tensing up her body
as she walked in those unfamiliar tracks
humming the forgotten haunting tunes.

and I bet
that she would have forgotten
all those sites
only if she had ever dared enough to
once explore this deserted soul.

I want to kiss a stranger
in such a way that I hand him
all of myself; my body and its weights
so that
maybe for a while,
I can finally find my escape.
