Tus Lagrimas
Alfredo Olivas
Your Tears
Your tears seem sincere
The smudged mascara reveals the sweet taste of defeat
I don't know if I'm smiling out of fear
Or if I simply enjoy
Your repentance drop by drop
Your tears seem sincere
So much that I seriously consider
Lifting your punishment
I don't know who's losing here
But tell me if that even matters
I can't bear to be without seeing you anymore
If only you had listened
If you had accepted my forgiveness
In the end, I'm also human
Maybe if you didn't wear makeup
The wear and tear on you would be a little less evident
Perhaps if courage didn't win over you
You would have never gone on a trip
And this story would have a different ending
Your tears formed a river
Your goodbye left me a desert
Where I almost froze to death
You leave me no choice
But to surround your body with my arms
And dry your cheek with kisses
If only you had listened
Or asked for an explanation
Maybe my argument would have mattered
If the sky wasn't so gray
And winter about to arrive
The dialogue would make no sense
If the visit was casual
If you had taken a little longer
I would ignore my heart
Maybe if you didn't wear makeup
The desire pushing me to kiss you
Would be a little less
