Yerba Mala

I know that your punishment is to see me
That you seethe with anger when you see me coming
That in your existence I'm like the bad weed
That spreads without being able to be uprooted

I know that your punishment is to see me
That the passing of days teaches you to hate
And unfortunately, I am that reason
I, who with your love have built an altar

I would give drop by drop the blood from my veins
To erase my presence from your eyes
But what do you want me to do if you are in my life
The only refuge that can shelter me

I know that your punishment is to see me
