WOMAN IN LOVE

this gloomy delusion of living
this hidden whim of living
it drags you along alejandra don’t deny it.
today you looked at yourself in the mirror
and it left you sad and alone
the light roared the air sang
but your lover didn’t come back
you’ll send messages you’ll smile
you’ll flutter your hands so that
your lover so loved will come back
you hear the demented siren that stole him
the ship with seafoam beards
where laughter died
you remember that last embrace
oh, no anguish at all
laugh in the handkerchief cry wild laughs
but close the doors of your face
so later they can’t say
that woman in love was you
days distress you
nights accuse you
life hurts so much so much
desperate one, what for?
desperate one, no more!
