|
I locked eyes with a robin this morning,
|
||
|
|
sitting outside my bedroom window
|
||
|
|
perched on one of the branches of the bush
|
||
|
|
that was once a tree, cut down in fear, still adamant to grow.
|
||
|
|
I thought of you, helpless in bed, maybe snoring,
|
||
|
|
maybe silent as a hush,
|
||
|
|
and how I wished I could be there
|
||
|
|
to your exhausted body take care.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For I gave you everything I had to give
|
||
|
|
for you to claim your future back
|
||
|
|
under one condition: that, at the end, you live.
|
||
|
|
You burnt every candle down,
|
||
|
|
dissolved every bathtime bomb,
|
||
|
|
spent every rainy day stash
|
||
|
|
I had,
|
||
|
|
even accepted my blood.
|
||
|
|
I wish
|
||
|
|
it hadn't taken this
|
||
|
|
for you to finally accept
|
||
|
|
you were the Equinox,
|
||
|
|
the harbinger of balance,
|
||
|
|
all along.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When I'm with you,
|
||
|
|
I feel like I've been born anew.
|
||
|
|
My mistakes no longer imposing weight,
|
||
|
|
the past's pain
|
||
|
|
all washed away.
|
||
|
|
Or about to be reborn,
|
||
|
|
invalid, palliate,
|
||
|
|
you gently taking care of me
|
||
|
|
until arrives my death date.
|
||
|
|
Your touch is so tender, my love,
|
||
|
|
healing, magic, sunlight.
|
||
|
|
You know I'd do anything for you.
|
||
|
|
So let me nurse you back to life.
