Amor Mortal

The protagonist's inability to sleep and the nightmares they endure highlight the emotional turmoil they are experiencing. This intense longing is so overwhelming that they would rather be physically close to their beloved, even in death, as suggested by the lines, 'Mejor quitame la vida / Y disecame completo / Ponme cerca de tu cama / Para siempre estar contento.'
