Companionship

There, I found him He was so little I couldn’t believe he could be in that place A corner so dark and humid Surrounded by decayed, destroyed walls And a rotten floor creaking with each step

He was crying so loud, but I never heard a sound His sobs were so intense he couldn’t breathe His gaze so fixed and buried in his hands, He didn't notice me there

I tried to call him by his name I tried to reach him, but he didn’t even bother I tried singing, but still no reaction I tried writing, but he couldn’t see it I tried it all, but nothing worked

So I just stayed… I stayed in that place with him I felt the darkness embracing us I felt the cold running through our veins I felt the harsh winds drying our eyes I felt it all there with him Until it was done

He laid his head on my shoulder and fainted

I covered him with my arms I held him tight in my hands, stood up And I strolled to the exit

He was so little His hair and nails so long His face so dirty And his eyes so numb

I took care of him from that day on

Until one day, I heard him laugh out loud Until one day, I watched him play outside Until one day, I saw him making friends again

One day, I saw him so happy I couldn’t believe it was him.

I sometimes find him there, again But now he can hear me But now he can see me But now he can read me And even wrote this with me While we were visiting

I recognized this feeling again… The day our eyes first met And even though you had the biggest smile I could see the little girl crying in that place

I was a fool to think I could help you I was so arrogant to believe I could do it again I looked for that little girl with all my heart Yet I never found her

I failed so hard But now I understand:

Only you are allowed in that room

And I hope you can leave that place, holding her tight

All within a Dream

I saw you again You were as beautiful as the last time As full of energy as I recalled you

I saw you again But your clothes were different Your acting was different You —were different

I saw you again I looked the same Acted the same Did the same

I saw you again You saw me again And you couldn’t stop looking Like if you needed to say something

I saw you again You looked worried We crossed looks once And I understood everything 

I saw you again And my dream self— Did something I’d never It stood beside you Touched your shoulder And left

I know this won’t mend anything But that tap within the dream And this poem within reality Just wanted to calm you for a few seconds

I saw you again in my dreams And I hope your smile keeps protecting you And I’m sure everything will be alright

To: Whoever Needs It

Yes, I thought you would stay Yes, I did everything you asked for to keep you Yes, I ignored your lies and secrets to avoid conflicts Yes, I believed you were the love of my life Yes, you left.

Yes, I watch your pictures every day Yes, I listen to our playlist every hour Yes, I read your letters daily to calm the pain Yes, I play on repeat your "I love you" voice note Yes, I still do…

Yes, you came back Yes, you said you love me and that you can't live without me Yes, I was dying to say the same back to you Yes, I wished to hug and kiss you Yes, I still think you are the love of my life

But

No, I didn't answer the phone No, I didn't say it back to you No, I didn't do it

And not because I don't believe you’re the One but because I owed it to myself.

You decided to abandon me So I decided to wish you luck to turn my back on you and, with my shattered heart, keep walking

Yes, I did that and No, I'm not sure if it was the right decision…

Have you ever seen a demon in love with a goddess?

The odds are not as low as you might think The devil got astonished by the clearness of her eyes Reminding him of the calmness of the depths Obsidian spheres reflect her kind heart Tender and comfortable at first sight They looked at me with wonder and affair because of how strange and peculiar I must be to her. A dark aura recovering my-self invited her to feel the warmth of my chest Her hands, refurbished with a sweet touch, reached at my face with praise My sight from above made her feel petite and weak to my spell I pulled her in, and she melted I could feel the fluidity of her body morphing and covering mine with grace Her eyes, those damned eyes, led me into her domains, there in heaven But while I was there, I could feel her radiance flickering down I tainted orange, black, her perfect blue sky I made her light gravitate towards my darkness And although her eyes showed a brighter glow I backed down before I made her night Unfortunately, my hatred is so pure it can hurt you. Which means: By remaining together, you could have transformed me into a god. But the possibility of you becoming a devil was the result I couldn't stand And I loved you too much to risk that chance I'll never forget the juiciness of your soul or the tenderness of your body. And I will forever remember that day we reminded them all how twilight was created. I still wonder: How could a goddess fall in love with a demon? But what really makes me ponder: Why does a demon write about looking at her?

Masterpieces

They make me wonder…

How can your eyes have that glow on top? It's like they've been drawn And the artist, on purpose, left that white spot

I like to think they shine because of me That I am the artist who filled up the rest with ink The one who portrays laughter in your face by just looking at them

I really want to know…

Am I the one who sparks your heart with the touch of our hands? Do I pigment that shy look and reddish cheeks with my hugs? Is the reach of my lips what alights your skin? Do the whispers of my body awake your desires?

I want to be the artist who paints the shades of your fires The one who illustrates spring spells in your blood And sends the colors of love through your veins Tell me... Am I the creator of your joy when it rains? I really wish to illustrate the key to freeing your chains

Yellow

Since I first met you… I could see deep pain in your eyes And I perceived the thorn in your chest By noticing the invisible tears of blood-- --Staining your dress

I don't know why But I have always associated you with:

A yellow heart A bright smile And a warm hug

You taught me what happiness is all about:

Being able to light a smile To shine with your Sun rays-- --and brighten other people's days Even when inside of us is dark

That's why I feel you are-- --one of the happiest beings alive…
