Seis Días Trabajarás

Drunk on the train with you

Riding from midtown to downtown

Riding from midtown to uptown

What a mood

Sleepy and feeling the pressure in our bladders

Reaching out to feel each other

Passing glances

Passing reassurances

Shushing the drunker one

Both us were the “drunker one”

Laughs

And so many smiles

Head scratches and sighs

Move me to words

Move me to tears

Move me to new heights of rage

Be more than ink on a page

Expose my fears

Move me away

Throttle me into an endless vacuum

Become me

Help me become a better me

Do something

Move me

The weather was hot cold like your love when we met

Hot cold

Like your kisses that fall and spring

Cold like you need tights in the morning

Hot like you need to take ‘em off by noon

You were hot

Falling into the same mistakes

Falling to somewhere deep down That I may never rise from

Falling into old habits

Unhappy and lying with smiles

Voice stuck in the back of my throat

I saw myself falling

And you’re telling me don’t lie

At least we never lied

At least we can say we vibed

At least we have those memories 

Now you know how cold my winds can blow

Now you’ve felt why I try to keep people at arms length

I’m fickle 

I’m needy

I’m mean

I’m also a visionary

After a while it was scary

There is one thing I can say after having met you

I have never in all my days felt this way about anyone

21 men 3 women and none can compare to your touch

Or that, “What did I do to deserve this,” look in your eye 

You make me believe in starlight

You make me believe in dancing

You make me believe

In classical themes about love

In people

In the system

You are becoming my hope for tomorrow 

You are becoming my motivation to see spring time…

For the first time, in a long time, I am looking forward to the weekend

I am looking forward to any time that marks my seeing you

I am not dreading anything

It’s dangerous to feel this way about a stranger

But when you hold me the way you do

Even if you said you loved me now

I wouldn’t believe you

No way

No how

Why’d you never say you loved me when I lay next to you each night?

Why did you never fight when I walked away

How come you never held me like I could fly away

You were complacent

You were unhappy

It was too hot

A couple argues in the next room

Then sirens blare through the city streets

And I was almost angry

I was next to you and you didn’t love me

You were inside me and you didn’t love me

I was wiping your tears and you didn’t love me

I was on hands and knees 

Back broken for you

You

Didn’t 

Love 

Me

You were incapable of saying you loved me then

But now

After I walk out the door

After I let you inside once more

Oh, now you love me

No, nunca, hamas

No never in its most dramatic sense
