La reclusa

And if it were so, I would give my life
For a single hug, a lost smile
We will merge into one body
Sealing our eternal love before everyone
- Sir, we must close
- Behave with me, trust me one more time
- Alright, for tonight, go rest now
- I curse you, you're kicking me out of the place
He has a woman at home waiting for him to come back
A bad wife is one who doesn't let her husband get close

And so every night
Defying the holy
Between the retching from drinking
And nervous convulsions
The same damn corner
Where they pile up the trash bags
That collect beings from another world
Being the only witness
I tuck my shirttails into my pants
I smooth my hair, hum a song

The child's school, the TV rental
It's been so long since we made love
Could it be that she's doing it with someone else
The same person to whom the other day
She gave her best smile
While I contained my rage
What's left of that sworn love
I will always love you as long as you live
Before you spit on me, tyrant
And lock me away forever in oblivion
Blindly I feel my way around the room

Reaching the bed guided by her breathing
A naked body fuels a passion
A withered face lacking expression
She cruelly digs her nails into my cheek
And cackles like a possessed
I slap her until she's defeated
Broken in tears, my anger is not appeased
What's left of that sworn love
I will always love you as long as you live
Before you spit on me, tyrant
And lock me away forever in oblivion
