Just like the dumbest mosquito in the swarm
_____
I follow your light even if it leads me to die
_____
I follow you like final periods follow
_____
all the suicidal phrases that seek their end
_____
Just like the poet that decides to work in a bank
_____
It may be possible that I, in the worst case
_____
put a judo hold on my poor heart
_____
making it sign this declaration in tears
_____
I shut up because it's comfier to fool myself
_____
I shut up because reason has beaten the heart
And even if someone else walks with me
_____
In silence I'll love only you
_____
Just like the beggar thinks that the movies are a window display
_____
Just like a resigned flower decorates an elegant office
_____
I promise to call him my love, the first one that doesn't hurt me
_____
And laughing will be a luxury I'll forget once I've forgotten you
_____
But just like people wait as they wait in Plaza de Mayo
_____
I try to light a candle in secret so that, just in case
_____
a stroke of luck might one day let me see you again
_____
reducing these words to a piece of paper
_____
I shut up because it's comfier to fool myself
_____
I shut up because reason has beaten the heart
And even if someone else walks with me
_____
In silence I'll love you only
_____
I shut up because it's comfier to fool myself
_____
I shut up because reason has beaten the heart
_____
And even if someone else walks with me
_____
In silence I'll think only of you
