Let me hide
in the caverns
of your heart
Those carved out
from
the pain
the grief
the cruelties of
this world
have left you
with a space in
the middle of
your soul
without pieces of
yourself
Let me hide
in those shallowness
Can you hear
the wind is playing
I promise to
be careful
with the sharp edges
Let me hide
in the cliffs
of your sadness
just above the sea
of your tears
Where the
flowers
smiles
don’t grow
maybe I
can plant them
there

They made you
bite and spite blood to distract the sharks around
To survive
But then
You met someone who is just
too soft
too good
That can look at the world
in all its ugliness
in all its cruelty
An even then
can smile and light the room
can just share the silence and bring peace
Someone you treasure so much
that you end letting go
Because
that is the only thing you know how to do
Because
that is the closest thing to love you know
Because
you only know how not to hurt
So you stood there watching their back
With the words cutting your throat
But you just can’t say them
Because
you don’t know how
Because
you don’t know how to say it
Because
when you try to say - ---- ---
It sounds like
I’m sorry
I’m happy for you
You can go
I can stay
I will wait
Maybe it doesn't have a sound at all
It was in my friend teaching me to play the piano
It was on my friend asking me if I had eaten anything
It was in my brother calling me names while rushing my hair
It was in my mother saying She just wants me to be happy
It was in my father saying he just wants the best for me
Because
everybody speaks it different
Because
sometimes it isn’t said
But if I learnt anything at all
Is that even if we don’t understand each other
we have to make an effort
So, I played the piano the best I could
I kissed goodbye my mother
I held eye contact with my father
I ran here just to say my first words
To them
To you
I’m happy you are alive
And I’m happy that I’m alive too
Here
with you tonight

I ask you
If you love me,
All the time:
While eating
Watching television
Working
Cooking
I need to get it
I’m not afraid that one day
You’ll realize that you don’t love me anymore
What really scares me is that
one day
That love won’t be enough
For you to forgive everything I’ve done
Everything that I haven’t done
Everything I won’t do
