La reclusa

And if that were the case
I’d give my life
For just one hug
A lost smile

We’ll merge
The two of us in one body
Sealing before everyone
Our eternal love

Gentleman
We need to close
Behave with me
Trust me one more time

It’s fine for tonight, go rest now
I curse you for Orco or you’re kicking me out of the place
You have a woman at home waiting for you to come back
A bad wife is one who won’t even let her husband get close

And so every night
Challenging the holy one
Between the heaves of what’s been drunk
And nervous convulsions

The same damn corner
Where they pile up the bags
That gather men from another world
Being the only witness

I tuck my shirt into my pants
I smooth my hair, hum a song
The kid’s school, the rent for the TV
It’s been so long since we made love

Could it be she’s with another
That same guy who the other day
Gave her the best of his smiles
While I held back my rage

What’s left of that sworn love
I’ll love you forever while you live
Before you spit on me, tyrant
And lock me away forever in oblivion

In the dark, I fumble through the room
Reaching the bed guided by her breath
A naked body feeds a passion
A withered face lacking expression

She cruelly digs her nails into my cheek
Screams and gasps like a possessed one
I slap her until she’s worn out
Broken in tears, it doesn’t calm my anger

What’s left of that sworn love
I’ll love you forever while you live
Before you spit on me, tyrant
And lock me away forever in oblivion
