do i love you?

because you make me feel warm
bring me happiness
and light to my life

or do i love you
because i don't love myself
because you're familiar
because i can't stand being alone
with all the thoughts in my head

do i really love you
rey Jul 2017
quisiera olvidarte
quisiera olvidar
tu nombre
y las manos que antes
me acariciaban

todo lo que he hecho
como una tonta
sin nada
por nada
nunca era nada

mis manos llenas de
la tierra
la leña quemada
las cenizas
de un fuego
que antes existía
dominando las colinas

las puntas de mis dedos
quemadas
un dolor extraño

nunca he sentido estos dolores

entierrio las cenizas
con todas las memórias
beso el zacate
verde y rocío

un día crecería
un arbol
lleno del amor
todo el amor
que me han rechazado
tirado, destruido
un arbol
nacido de las cenizas

i can still hear your voice in my head
and your small, cheerful laugh

a fantasy that once was
we only exist as strangers now
it's bittersweet

i'm not sure i'll ever find
someone like you again

its a 6 sided cube
sharp on the edges
versatile and wide

the desire and need to speak
to silence the quiet underneath

its the listening
doing more listening than talking
to distract my mind

its all the love i give
spread amongst all i meet
hoping to shine a light on a soul
even if i can't shine a light on my own

its the need for attention
reassurance that i'm okay and worthy
of this life

its the dreams of a better day
and a new tomorrow
to start my life fresh
shining and positive

but

its the nightmares
recurring and graphic

its the grinding of teeth
my aching jaw in the morning

its all the emotional trauma i carry
scarred into the folds of my brain
bad habits embedded into my mind
that i'm not sure i can break

its the
fighting fighting fighting
crying screaming
suicide

6 sides cut into endless pieces
always switching rotating moving

happy
sad
angry

exhausting to breathe
exhausting to think
rey Jul 2017
siempre les digo a todos
que los amo

porque nunca sabes
cuando el día llegara
que su voz se va
y su sonrisa se hace
una memoría
de alguien que un día existio

it follows me during the day
quietly resting in the morning
slowly awaking in the afternoon

i take a pill at noon
it takes a nap again

but by the evening
my thoughts are scrambled
my fingertips raw
bleeding from the edges

preoccupied with my thoughts
distant and out of touch

i escape to be alone
but i find myself alone
with the four corners of my mind
and i escape again
to my friends
to my work
to my safe places

but i always find myself alone
with the four corners of my mind

where do i run to now

la primera vez que te vi
sabía que mi vida iba cambiar

cuando toqué el calor de tu piel
y vi la luz en tus ojos
mi alma empezó a llorar

sabía que eras más que podía dominar
y con toda la fuerza de mi alma
dije adios a mi felicidad
y salude al amor
una tortura

unas veces llena de sol
y otras
en el mar, ahogada

pero no hay nada
como la fuerza del mar
algo increíble, un sentimiento
fuera de este mundo

no quisiera morirme de otra
