Querida Enemiga

Dear enemy
since you were my friend
I would like to describe
a lost battle
how a man is healed
and his wounds are stitched
with the thread of forgetfulness

Dear enemy
don't blame yourself
for following selfishness
so your heart doesn't suffer
washing your white soul
and my love
with the worst of the sulfurs
that has existed

Dear enemy
I'm not here to give you lessons
I just want to remind you
that it takes courage
to come here and show you
that for every love you break
a poet's ink falls

Dear enemy
all illusions die
as the instinct fades
that awakens temptations
descending into an abyss
mixing with colors
and destroying the beauty
in love

And until the moment
silence invades you
and you ask the heavens
to save the memory
not to torment you
not to treat you as foolish
may they have mercy
on your soul

Dear enemy
I will let you face
not guardians or cupids
living in the darkness
of things I have wanted
lived and felt
like no one on this earth

Dear enemy
not even my shadow
accompanies me
because it believes
I am a coward
who doesn't look you in the face
what I come to do
is to remind you
never to play
with this same coin

Dear enemy
today I feel
more like a teacher
I teach life
that there may be some disaster
starting
with wounds
those that hurt inside
and destroy
the beauty
in love

Dear enemy
I will leave
with the wind
a clear conscience
to say
what I feel
when I settle accounts
with my thoughts
everything will be
like a bad dream

Dear enemy
I'm not here to give you lessons
I just want to remind you
that it takes courage
to come here and show you
that for every love you break
a poet's ink falls

Dear enemy
all illusions die
as the instinct fades
that awakens temptations
descending into an abyss
mixing with colors
and destroying the beauty
in love

love, love...
oh love!!

Dear enemy
since you were my friend
I would like to describe
a lost battle
how a man is healed
and his wounds are stitched
with the thread of forgetfulness...
