El Amor Acaba

Because the soul empties
like the pitcher and the cloud,
Love ends!
Because gently slips away
like a shadow the caress,
Love ends!
Because feeling is smoke
and ash the word,
Love ends!
Because the heart of giving
comes a day when it breaks,
Love ends!
Because what were once white ribbons
turn into chains,
Love ends!
Because the most divine caress
becomes routine,
Love ends!
Because we are like rivers,
new water every moment,
Love ends!
Because desires die
for the flesh and for the kiss,
Love ends!
Because time has cracks,
because cracks the soul has,
because nothing is forever
that even beauty tires...
Love ends
