Retrato

Today my wall
Is sad and empty
It's because I removed
Your photograph.

I don't want to look
At your sweet smile
If it's not mine anymore,
If it's not mine anymore.

I went and hid it
In a distant place
Where I keep the things
That hurt me.

I don't want to cry
Looking at your face
If that gaze is no longer
For me.

My sleeping hours live
Without emotions
I spend the days writing
These sad songs.

My life passes slowly
Without hope
That you'll come back
Again.

Thin, with dark circles, tired
And without illusions
My body dies, my home
I have no passions.

And even though I try to hide
That I keep you in mind
Here in my mind
Here in my mind.

And what can I do
If you run from my tears
It was useless
To hide your portrait.

Knowing where you are
And not being able to call you
It wears me out
Poisons the air for me.

And I want to go out
Like a madman to find you
But I still feel anger
And I stay to wait for you.

I want to know
If in the end you realize
That like me
No one can love you.

My sleeping hours live
Without emotions
I spend the days writing
These sad songs.

My life passes slowly
Without hope
That you'll come back
Again.

Thin, with dark circles, tired
And without illusions
My body dies, my home
I have no passions.

And even though I try to hide
That I keep you in mind
Here in my mind
Here in my mind.
