Remember Sadness

Life as it is
A movie playing in slow motion
Or the child trying to stand
A strange way of loving
Seems like a foolish way of wanting to suffer
Or because we only live passionately
For everything that wants to hurt
A fear happily abandoned
Of the rose with thorns that will cut
But doesn't know that
When it was just a seed
It had nothing to lose

By gaining a spell that returns
Loves, moans, and destroys
From every lonely heart
From everything that will one day be born
And die

By living, you will learn to clean
The old wound that cut you
And you will start to feel your chest
Aching with longing
Like a sparrow feels
Seeing its love run over
And being embraced
Feeling the warmth
The proud kiss of the girl
Unaware, unaware

Discovering an old tradition
That ends up becoming a curse
And that senseless life
Of a movie playing in slow motion
For pleasure
