Mujer Misteriosa

Cabello castaño cae por su rostro.
El rosa de sus mejillas resplandece en su blanca piel de porcelana.
Un lunar sobre su labio me roba el aliento.

Levanta la mirada, mujer misteriosa.
Déjame ver de que color son tus ojos.
Desvela el sentimiento de tu mirada.
Levanta la mirada, mujer misteriosa.

¡Los veo! ¡Los veo!
Sus ojos marrones, de mirada penetrante y ladrones de mi corazón.


Mysterious Woman**

Her brown hair falling over her face.
The pink on her cheeks shining on her porcelain, white skin.
A beauty spot over her lips takes my breath away.

Raise your eyes, mysterious woman.
Let me see the color of your eyes.
Reveal to me the emotion in your gaze.
Raise your eyes, mysterious woman.

I see them! I see them!
Her penetrating brown eyes, robbers of my heart.

Sitting here in this prison I built,
cold and lonely, I cry for help
for I lost the only key I had to get out.

I'm trapped.
Trapped within myself.
Unable to see the outside world
no one can hear my screams.
They bounce from wall to wall
echoing through the room.

Haunting me.

Taunting me.

The walls are closing in.
My breath is short. Almost gone.
My mind is free.
Free to lurk in my own dark
finding my demons on the way.

My body's weak from starvation.
My will is broken from the cruelty of it all.
My voice can't produce any sound from all the cries for help unanswered.
I'm destined to die here.

Cold.

Lonely.

Weak.

Forsaken.

No one will miss me.

With my last breath I whisper goodbye to this room which ultimately became
my home.

Let the pen be your blade,

                                and the ink be your blood

      pouring down on a sentence,

              soaking up a blank piece of paper.
