13 Años

I would have asked only
For a moment of peace
I would have asked just to still hear
A thread of her voice
That says
"I'm leaving slowly slowly slowly..."
Now squeeze my hand
I'm leaving and not taking you with me
From now on, just think of yourself
I would have asked only
To lose sense

I would have been alone
Looking at the stars
Or God would have let her live always in company
Only with beautiful souls
Falling tired exhausted into the arms of
Attentive angels
Who gently take her
And inattentively reach out their hands

And I who still listen
And I who still get lost
In the gentle walk and in your given affection
Wrapped in silence
And I feel weak the eternal warmth
Jealous in hand
And 13 years pass
Life lasts nothing
