Ave cautiva

It hurts my heart to see you
suffer, for someone who
doesn't deserve your love,
knowing that you love him
he treats you badly,
and with your suffering
he grows stronger.

It hurts me that you have so
much faith, after he has entangled you
with lies,
I swear, my heart, that if I were him,
I could give my life for you.

But your eyes can't see me,
nor your ears hear me,
you closed the doors
to your heart with a key.

And I dream of giving you a kiss
and caressing your childlike skin,
I have to see you dying inside
like a captive bird.
