Saturno

Saturn
I give up if you look at me, don’t shoot
I’d rather have other brands on my skin
Better for you to leave than to let me down
You stealing my heart and I’m in my paper house
I’m wide open for being a bar closer
Juggling with the time we’re given
I, who don’t pay attention to the details
You told me to call you but I loved you
Starry-eyed, I never felt like a star
And by your hand
I could see this sparkle
It blinded me
I want to leave my mark
Not on the Moon but on the mole on your neck
And pff
I swear I can’t focus
I have faith in God when I kiss your fires
You’re the piano, I’m Novecento
I won’t get off the boat
I carry what I want inside
To you who look at me like I’m Saturn
You always see me pretty even though I’m broken
My mind racing at kilometers per second
And an infinite void that’s filled your lap
I’ve never deserved these rings
Because they’re moons I broke with my hugs
I thought I had the best sky in my hallway
Until I saw the shine in your big eyes
I’ve waited so long for our dance
But everything I love then burns
Cassini-Huygens
And there you were after all
Turning everything upside down
With you, I’ve lost myself in other orbits
Those black eyes that look at me
Jumping over the walls of logic
Love is the seed of life
How can it be that you
Put out all my silences
You who have seen my Saturn
And a hug that beats time
Barefoot with the pulse in my hands
Holding back the urge to orbit us
How can it be that you
In the middle of the disaster
Only saw light
With a kiss, you extinguished a thousand storms
You signed the sky with light
They turned me off and left me spinning
And now I just want space to share my time
And if you’re gone
I’ll tie a knot in my throat
To not tie the rope to your memory
I can’t hold back the urge to bring it down
Because our wait to see each other is getting long
Even though waking up here looks nice
If you’re not here, it’ll never be my favorite
I’m only afraid of an infinity
Where I don’t know you and feel like I need you
To me, who’s made up of scars
And to you, who didn’t plan to shoot
Destiny doesn’t care what they say
Dear gravity
You who didn’t fit into my plans
And now you plan my air
Like the footprints and the Moon
Always together in the air
How can it be that you
Put out all my silences
You who have seen my Saturn
And a hug that beats time
Barefoot with the pulse in my hands
Holding back the urge to orbit us
How can it be that you
In the middle of the disaster
Only saw light
And in my Saturn.
