Sacrifice

Let the pain consume you
with tears in your eyes and on your knees
pray to a god you can't see
and make deals with an evil that you don't hear,
may it be in your blood
and break your bones with its tremors.
Let yourself feel it, break and free yourself.
Make this pain your sacrifice to motivate 
to fail again until you know you've done the right sacrifice.

Addiction

I will abstain from drugs
alcohol and sins
but never ask me to abstain from you
since there I shall die and never return.

She is slightly broken

You know?

Like a crooked portrait

with an incomplete photo

she had burned edges

and the eyes out of the image.

She was sad and broken

wasted and lost

and yet I found her

beautiful

breathless

and the love of the years that she would accept,

they were hers,

 and only hers

I miss you

I miss you

and I will miss you

until the ashes have settled

the last kisses have been given

because you are where my sufferings begin and end

you are the first regret and pure pain,

the first unrequited love

Your scent on my clothes

with my fingerprints on your skin

and your lips on my neck

we were two in one

until we stopped to think:

Why?

There is a hole in me,

a search for feelings

that is a necessity

for the heat of a body

to cling to and obsess

because when I move, I listen to the echoes of my footsteps.

And this loneliness that haunts me on every corner

of the mirrors that surround me

It’s taking me to the madness of the heartbeat

I have left.

It's infinite what it feels like

and what can’t be explained

my feelings collide

and they abuse themselves to just be able to go afloat,

not everyone has a name and none rules in me

However,

they all write my personality

develop my words

and tell my story,

I don’t have anything to tell you that you already know

but I could tell you what you don’t understand

why my words,

my feelings,

my personality with conflicts

it's mine and not yours,

my fight between them and me is perpetual,

and my life is short to explain in beautiful broken words

how is to grow with them
